I was born in Cheshire, England. I studied at Stockport College of Art, following which I spent an informative period in an advertising agency in Manchester. Eventually I took the plunge and entered into the world as a freelance illustrator. I acquired a high profile London agent and gained a continuing reputation, primarily as a fashion illustrator, although I continued to work on a wide variety of subject matter and gained clients on both national and international levels. Finally I concentrated fully on Fine Art painting. A love of travel and varied experiences have taken me to many countries in Europe and North Africa, and I have worked and settled in Spain, France, Germany, and Ireland. My
working world is necessarily a solitary one, although I have my faithful four-legged companions; sometimes their paws plant their own imprint on the day's work. After sketching, planning, and sourcing material all helped on by many cups of tea, the moment arrives when I feel the need to make the mark, quickly, to allow my canvas to open up and join me in a mind's picture. My chosen mediums are primarily oils and acrylics, although all mediums can be used to achieve my vision. Eventually when all is working well I begin to work on another level of intuition; I am now trusting to my own inspirations. This is the joy and pain of painting.
