Biography
Studied at Portsmouth School of Art and then began work at a commercial studios as an illustrator at the age of 17. Disillusionment followed and he began to paint more and more for himself. His first one- man show was at Foyles Gallery, London in 1935. His work was abstract, but influenced by the Surrealists.

Whilst in war service he managed to produce enough work for his next solo show held at the Modern Art Gallery in 1943, with further shows following. Paralle with this work, he was also making studies of fellow-Sorry - this work is soldiers and 'documentary' drawings, often with a humerous content, some of which are now held in the Imperial War Museum collection.

The Belgrave Gallery held a retrospective in 1989.
