I live in Bangor, North Wales with Moira my wife of 45 years. I am 73 years of age  and after leaving school I spent 38 years working for Lloyds Bank- mostly in N Wales before taking early retirement some 20 years ago. I am also a magician, having worked on cruise ships, children’s parties, hotel shows for coach parties and weddings. I am also a Member of The Magic Circle.

Unfortunately, I had ‘severe’ covid some two years ago which has seriously affected my health to the extent that I am now on oxygen 24/7.

I have always enjoyed sketching and painting since school days but it’s only within the last year or so that I’ve become more involved and stayed strictly with watercolours- initially as a challenge after previously being used to oil and acrylics! 

Other than ‘O’ Level t Art in school, I am otherwise self taught.
