I have always shown an artistic flair, and whilst I have had a few differing forms of employment over the years, the artistic side of me has always come to the fore.
Art became a serious employment option around 1997, after a little persuasion from my better half, Peter.

Since then, my professional art career has moved forwards at a heady pace… from what began as the painting of animal portraits for family and friends, to the present day,I produce over 20 original paintings per year; show my work at a number of nationwide venues; produce a large proportion of all of my own prints, many of them being sold and dispatched internationally; and mount and frame all my pieces in-house.

Paintings… I paint by inspiration and commission. My work is created using a number of different media, although I mainly use acrylic and watercolour on paper or board. I use the medium best suited to the effect I wish to achieve.

Prints… All but the largest prints are produced in-house. A digital method of printing is employed on the finest quality digital papers and the finest pigment inks, for light-fastness and accurate colour reproduction.
