A painter of light and colour, Ted is self-taught, with a life time of experience. He has successfully combined careers as a design engineer and as an artist  painting full-time since 2002. "I work in a variety of mediums, including oil, acrylic, watercolour and gouache. Most of my work is figurative, sometimes impressionistic and occasionally abstracted," he says. "Prior to 1990, I painted mainly in Cornwall, working in situ around the streets of St Ives, with which I have had a long association. The Cornish coastal scene is still a feature of my work, together with local scenes along the Thames. In the last 10 years, I have branched out into more expressive work, which I produce from experience and imagination in my garden studio." Ted has held many solo exhibitions in Henley, Reading and London and is a regular exhibitor with the Henley Guild and other local venues. He has had over 20 solo shows.
