I am a professional artist and tutor living close to the Waveney on the outskirts of Bungay. Previous careers saw me working in the arts and entertainment industries – variously as a performer, maker, director or administrator. Lowestoft-born, I returned to East Anglia a decade ago after having left in the 1970s. I now live and work here in the beautiful Waveney Valley where my wife (Lorry Cudmore Ceramics) and I share studios in our garden. I am currently Chair of Harleston and Waveney Art Trail and a member of several other regional and national art groups. I am passionate about drawing from life and would describe myself as a representational, realist artist – mostly concentrating on landscapes and portraits.
