Artist's Statement: My art revolves around the landscape of Gwynedd, farm workers and fishermen. I am a member of the Royal Cambrian Academy. My work is representational and mainly involved with landscapes, townscapes and to a lesser extent figure studies and portraiture. I work mainly in water-colour or mixed media.
Teaching Experience: since the late 1950s teaching in Caernarvon at Maesincla Junior School and at Syr Hugh Owen School until his retirement in 1990.Awards: 1956 winner of the Anfield & Everton Prize for Art; 1961 RCamR Saxon Barton Prize; 1974 Royal National Eisteddfod prize-winner.
