I studied BA Hons Illustration at the University of Central Lancashire graduating in 2004. I worked for a number of years as a freelance artist from my Manchester based studio. I produced mainly large scale canvas paintings along with book and magazine illustrations. Due to health and personal circumstances I had to take a break from my art work. I moved to Ilkley in 2012 and have worked as a chef in the same job for the last 9 years. In 2022 I was able to rekindle my love and passion for painting and had an exhibition of my current work at Friends of Ham in Ilkley, receiving lots of positive feedback and selling some pieces.

I have continued to sketch, draw and paint and am excited to broaden my connection with fellow artists. My style is semi abstract with a graphic quality. I’m inspired largely by the great outdoors, nature, landscapes architecture and street art. I enjoy exploring and experimenting with different techniques and I’m driven by colour and shape mainly working with acrylic on canvas .
