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 .

Originally from North West London, I studied at Harrow School of Art. In 1988 I moved to sunny Silsden, teaching art at Keighley College and as a visiting artist in schools.

I acquired an allotment plot 10 years ago and began a one sided "relationship" with the birds that visit the plot. This has led to a fascination for birds - songbirds, moorland birds, tropical birds - the source material is endless.
