About the Artist

I was born in Kendal and grew up in Staveley in the Lake District. I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. In 1993 I studied at Cumbria College of Art and Design in Carlisle. I completed a BTEC National Diploma in Foundation Studies in Art and Design. In 1994 I attended Bath College of Higher Education where I studied towards a BA Honours Degree in Graphic Design, specialising in Illustration. I now live in Leominster in Herefordshire and I am a member of the Ludlow Art Society. I have sold many of my art works and work on a semi professional basis as an Artist and Illustrator. I sell paintings and glasswork via my website and exhibitions. I am happy to undertake commissions for those of you who are looking for something more personal. Please feel free to look around the gallery and I hope you enjoy it!

My inspirations

A single painting, light, depth, texture and perspective are all things which enchant and inspire me. I admire the work of David Hockney and the way in which Jim Dine’s etching images are built up by layers and layers of lines.
