About me

I am an artist living and working in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, UK. The natural world has been my inspiration since boyhood when I immersed myself in the rich environment of the East Anglian fens and surrounding rivers. Fishing, drawing and painting formed the basis of my early art. I studied Technical Drawing at Wisbech Isle College and from there gained my degree in Scientific & Natural History Illustration from Lancaster University in 1997. 

After graduating and moving to Wales I joined Newport museum and Art gallery where I was able to study their excellent permanent fine art collection at close quarters and meet contemporary working artists making a living from their arts and crafts. This was a huge inspiration to me and influenced our move to Pembrokeshire to persue a career as an artist in 2004. Pembrokeshire's beautiful ocean, coast and countryside has earned a special place in my heart since moving here along side the magical fenlands of my childhood.

I have exhibited with The Royal Society of Marine Artists and The Royal Society of Portrait Painters in the Mall galleries, London and I run a small bespoke picture framing service where I specialise in hand finished gilded frames for a small number of artists.
