After studying Art and Design in college I wanted to progress as an artist, so I started doing commissions for friends and family.  These varied from caricatures/cartoons of friends and famous people, pet portraits, paintings of photographs, to signs for shops, as well as designs and logo's for various items including T-shirts and cricket bats!  

My commissions vary at the moment and range from graphite pencil drawings to paintings of a wide variety of subjects.

I also exhibit and sell my work at Cheltenham's Open Air Art Festival to great success. Although the Cheltenham weather hasn't been too kind the last two years!

My influences include the great Spanish master Francisco Goya and many other great artists such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Lucien Freud, Albrecht Durer, Caravaggio and Salvador Dali.  I am also a big fan of the French impressionists including Monet, Renoir and Manet.  Film and music, photographs, life in general, and of course the special woman in my life Rachael, all inspire me and provide ideas and concepts for future works.

I take great pride in my work and the perfectionist in me means I am almost never entirely happy with my finished work, I could probably keep adding to each piece months after it's finished!  

This website is another means of getting my work seen by the public and in a few more homes around the world!

I hope you enjoy browsing my site, please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, feedback and commissions.

Thanks for reading and thanks for visiting!
