Welcome to my website
I am a member of the New English Art Club and the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and was Vice President of The RP from 2002 - 2008.
I have work for sale on the
with Panter and Hall, London SW1, Sarah Samuels Fine Paintings and the NEAC website.
I will have several paintings in a British Impressionist Exhibition at Panter and Hall from 2nd - 16th April 2019 and my next solo show is with Panter and Hall in October 2020.
I have been commissioned to paint a wide range of people, most notably, in 1981, H.R.H. The Princess of Wales in her wedding dress and in 1997, H.M.The Queen, to celebrate the Royal Automobile Club's Centenary. Although, as you can see from this site, most of my portraits are of less well known people. My Interiors are mostly sold at exhibitions - either with the New English Art Club or through other galleries and dealers. In 2010 my solo exhibition, "Antarctica to China" was held at Ackermann Modern. My London gallery is Panter and Hall where I held solo exhibitions "Reflected Light" and in 2016 "Lamplight and Flowers".
To buy one of my Interiors or to commission one of your own, visit the Contacts page. To see where my work is exhibited visit the Links page.
My prices for commissioned portraits range from £3500 and for interiors from £3000 depending on size. I would need approximately three sittings and I enjoy travelling to paint people in their own homes.
I am married to Martin Bates and I divide my time between London and Scotland.
