Ives, Cornwall. UK, the son of a fisherman. I spent over 30 years at sea myself then i came ashore to be a farmer and photographer. Love nature and anything to do with plants and flowers, coming from a lifetime out in the elements it was natural to paint or take photos, well painting was out of the question except if it’s the house so i picked up a camera and loved it. I think my work demonstrates the way i look at nature, never went to school so everything in self taught, i am Dyslexic so never took any lessons just trial and error.
