After attending Falmouth College of Art, I studied to become a fully qualified Technical Illustrator, and later returned to Cornwall College to teach this subject. With the advent of computer artwork, this was one of the first subject areas to be affected, but as I have always felt more at home holding a paintbrush or pencil, I searched for another field of Art where I could use my skills and quickly identified Medical Art to be an area where accuracy and detail are critical.
There followed a period of training with the Medical Artists’ Education Trust, attending seminars at the Royal College of Surgeons, in order to attain my Post Graduate qualification in Medical Art.
I am now enjoying a period of indulging my desire to further my painting skills, with emphasis on “loosening up” and freedom of application after many years of detailed and restrained artwork.
