“…After studying for a Foundation Course in Art & Design at Wolverhampton University, I then went on to study for a Bachelor of Arts degree at Trinity and All Saints College, Leeds, from 1982-1985. Shortly afterwards, in 1986, I was awarded a grant from the ‘Princes Youth Business Trust’ and was one of the few people chosen to represent the ‘Princes Youth Business Trust’ at the Chelsea Flower Show in 1990.”

Whatever the subject, much of my work is related to my family life which is extremely important, and consequently my work is almost like a diary of the year’s events. The beach and landscape scenes that I paint are all taken from places that I have visited, either with my family or on my own.

They are very personal to me, and a very important part of my life.
