After an early introduction to
painting by an inspired teacher, my art career was put to one side,
owing to an extremely busy lifestyle, a great deal of which has been
involved with horses. I trained my own and other people's
point-to-point horses and produced show ponies for friends, and my own
show horses. I restarted my art career about 14 years ago with help from Katie Millard and Neil Cawthorne. I
have paintings in private collections in the USA, South Africa,
Holland, Japan, Belgium, Bermuda, Scandinavia, Portugal, Dubai and the
Republic of Ireland as well as in the UK. My
equine commissions range from successful show ponies i.e. (Donald of
Altnachrichne & Roscommon) and horses (Kings Warrior & Supreme
Champion Suffolk Punch. Stallion, Golden Grandchild) to family ponies. 
I have been commissioned to paint several successful racehorses including
Silver Patriach. Four National Hunt horses for Mrs. Dee Lousada, three
for Mrs. A. Shutes and one for Mr. D. Barnard, to name but a few. Also,
I am one of only six British Equestrian artists painting for a huge
Mural Mosaic, which will be on show at the Calgary Masters (a
Showjumping Festival in Canada) in September. It will then travel North
America and Europe. The web link to the mural is:
