Leaving Harrow School, he worked in the studios of Sir Arthur Cope RA and E.
Watson Nicol under whom he 'was taught with loving care to be a mid-Victorian art student'.He also studied under Harold Speed and at the Royal Academy Schools(c1930.)Served in the Royal Norfolk Regiment(1939-46).Concentrated on line drawing in the 1930's,began painting in watercolours while stationed in India at the end of WW2.Since which, his extensive travels (e.g. twice around the world in a cargo boat) provided him with many landscape subjects;he also paints conversation pieces and late 19thC pastiches in watercolour and gouache.As an illustrator he works in b/w (sometimes in silhouette) and full colour, turning his 'Victorian' early training to good account in evocative period tableaux.In his wordless picture books he has evolved an effective method of telling stories by means of half-pages placed between each double-page spread.
