was a talented artist and poet. His tragic death came as his
work was gaining wider appreciation.
Born with a hole in his heart, he stayed regularly at the

returned to England. As he grew older the condition appeared
less life threatening and he led a full life.

as an artist rather than a scientist and moved to Scotland.
Without any money he hitch-hiked acros Europe, reaching Morocco
before turning back.

he lived in Paris, exhibiting at the Attica English Bookshop.
In 94 he moved to Lewes and became integral to the Brighton
and Lewes poetry workshops. A number of his poems were published
and his paintings exhibited in the Star & Hesketh Gallaries.
