ABOUT ARTIST I have been painting for 80 years but only started to be professional when I retired 22 years ago, I live in a beautiful 518 year old Manx converted CornMill I have a very nice studio with excellent light overlooking the sea. I paint in Water Colour, Gouache, Oil, Acrylic, Pen and Ink, and Charcoal, I am best known for my creation of The Penny People characters I put in many of my paintings, I have been given a nickname as The Isle Of Man Lowery because people say I paint like him, Four of my paintings where made into Posters and displayed in The London Underground at Hyde Park Corner, and other stations seen by Millions of People no Artist from the Island has ever displayed their Art on The London Underground. I served in The Royal Navy for over 6 years, one of my ships I served on H M S Bermuda and the ship was one of the first to go and help the Greek People of Zante in The great Earthquake in 1953, and 5 years ago they traced me through navy records and invited me as guest of Honor for the 60th anniversary of the Earthquake they gave me the highest award the Greek Government of Zante could give, and awarded me as a Honorable Greek Citizen of Zante for the help I did with all the other sailors on the ship, because I was one of the youngest on board there is no one else left, now this beautiful Greek Island is like paradise, and is now built exactly like it was before the Earthquake no high rise holiday hotels just a beautiful Greek Island with warm water and beautiful sandy beach's
