A graduate of the RA schools in the 1950s, Plummer’s principal focus in his output throughout his career, was the human form; primarily the nude. He was very influenced by the painting techniques of Giotto and other early Renaissance painters and was particularly interested in the anatomical work of Michelangelo and Da Vinci.His work is truly original in both nature and style. Plummer worked in seclusion his whole life.  He rarely exhibited as he did not trust others to understand or appreciate much of his work.
