Born and raised in London, I moved to Hampshire on the South Coast of England in 1992, in part to escape city life but also to continue pursuing my love of the outdoors and sailing.

I showed an aptitude for drawing at an early age, throughout my early life I drew constantly and I was encouraged both at home and at school. My early studies centred on art and having gained a number of qualifications in art-related subjects at school I went to study for my Art Foundation course at Barnet College School of Arts.

Having worked in a couple of professions during the 1990's, I kept painting and drawing as a hobby producing pictures as gifts to friends alongside occasional commissions.I became a full time painter in 2004.

I am influenced by many artists and painters but especially appreciate classic masters - JMW Turner, Thomas Girtin, Alfred Munnings and WL Willie. I also greatly admire the work of Peter Curling, J Steven Dews, Rodger McPhail, Martyn Mackrill, Peter Smith and Jack Vettriano. I am passionate about art, spending many hours studying the works of these artists and others at galleries across the country.

I now have a broad base of international clients with my work in private collections in Australia, France, Ireland, Italy, Russia, South Africa, the United States and the United Kingdom.
