** The artist was House Manager of the London Opera Centre, a resident in the London borough of Tower Hamlets since 1963 specialising in London street scenes and buildings, particularly those of the East End. His first retrospective demonstrated the first artistic expressions upon which all his later work is so deeply founded. Pictures by the artist are now in private collections throughout the world including New Zealand, Holland, Israel and Australia. An example hangs in the town hall of Suresnes, a suburb of Paris. The Hackney Council exhibited sixty paintings and a Westminster show of forty two pictures on the Canaletto, the floating art gallery in Little Venice, sold almost every painting. Twenty of his scenes are owned by the Tower Hamlets Council and two are owned by Hackney Council.
