Bob was born in Bedford in 1948. A self taught artist he painted in his spare time until compelled by his love of the Dorset coast and countryside he moved to Chideock in 1994 to take up painting full time.

His painting career has seen a development through a number of styles; from highly detailed work on canvas through to the impressionist style of his current work. This current style of working shows strongly the influence of J.M.W. Turner whom Bob has always admired

Although at the moment concentrating on developing his work in oils, Bob is a highly competent draughtsman and watercolourist. He is also a keen photographer.

Bob currently exhibits mainly in West Dorset, with a number of private collectors throughout the UK. He has also worked in Europe, Australia and the U.S.A.

This exhibition of Bob's work focuses on views of the Jurassic coast which Bob is well known. His distinctive use of light and colour capture the atmosphere perfectly.
