He taught art in secondary schools, polytechnics and colleges of further education before being appointed Education Services Curator with Sheffield City Art Galleries. He left this position in 1974 to lecture in art history at Bretton Hall (now home of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park) where he taught up to post-graduate level.
He has been a full-time painter since 1988 and now lives and works in Swanage.
