1947 -

Sculptor, born in Essex. Following a period of several months in Paris where he sketched at the Musée Bourdelle, he attended first Carlisle School of Art and then Goldsmith’s College of Art. He has exhibited regularly since 1967 in Britain, Holland, and Germany. He had his first one-man exhibition at Wolverhampton Art Gallery in 1975, and is represented in the British Museum, the V&A, the National Museum of Wales and elsewhere. His bronze Charlie Chaplin was erected in Leicester Square, London, in 1981, and a seated figure of Isambard Kingdom Brunel was inaugurated in1982 on the concourse at Paddington Station, though this was removed when the Heathrow Express terminal was installed. A group of individual bronze figures representing The Beatles was commissioned from Doubleday by Royal Life Insurance Ltd, originally with the intention of erecting it in Chavasse Park, Liverpool. It was eventually installed in Cavern Walks, Liverpool in 1984.
