| I was born in Belfast in 1953, and studied Art and Design at Jordanstown Polytechnic, N.Ireland, and at Maidstone College of Art in Kent. I trained to be an art teacher at Goldsmiths College in London, and have been teaching art since then in primary and secondary schools, and a further education college. Exhibitions of my artwork have included a piece at the Royal Academy, London, and a one person exhibition of paintings and drawings at Aberdeen University. I have made illustrations for numerous publications, including educational material, and drawings for a book of short stories about a boy's experiences during World War II. |
