Born 1923, Banjarmasin, Indonesia

After my retirement from Unilever in 1983, I decided to take up painting as a hobby. I joined various Adult Education classes, first in Selsdon and later in Caterham Valley and Bletchingley.
Several tutors have helped me develop my painting skills. They
Include John Simpson, Arthur Easton and Richard Walker for portrait painting in oil and Adelene Fletcher for flower painting in watercolour. To all of them I am greatly indebted for guiding me through a hobby which has given me enjoyment during my retirement.

I joined The Croydon Art Society in 1991 and have been a member ever since. I am also a member of Tandridge and a past member of Old Coulsdon Art Societies.
