I enjoy travelling and photography. The subject matter of my paintings is often from those travels.
Although I trained as an illustrator/caricaturist, which is predominantly a drawing skill, chemotherapy left me with neuropathy in my hands which made drawing painful so I turned to painting which is easier on the hands.I have had some success since 2004 selling through exhibitions, art auctions, galleries and private commissions.
I work first hand from direct observation or from photographs taken by myself, which connects me with the subject and acts as an aide memoire. Subjects include beach scenes, beach huts, landscapes and flower paintings. Watercolour or acrylics are my preferred media. Colour, composition and texture are important elements.
I have been a professional artist for four years with a special interest in watercolour and oil painting. While enthusiastic about all natural and energetic subjects, my particular passion is painting amateur and professional sports athletes.
My work to date captures subjects participating in urban sports, snowboarding, skiing, parkour, skateboarding and surfing. My inspiration comes from the skill, precision, motion and energy of the athletes, which I then work to capture on the canvas.
Now living in London I am concentrating on a series of paintings and exhibitions to illustrate the changing capital city and performance of the British Olympic athletes in the run up to London 2012 Olympic Games.

The Royal College of Art can justly be called the spiritual home of British art and, as such, provides an ideal setting for the fair which attracts some 60 of the UK's leading art dealers who will show works by the great names of the 20th century: Bacon, Frued, Frink, Frost, Hepworth, Hockney, Hodgson, Lanyon, Lowry, Moore, Nash, Piper, Riley, Scott, Spencer and Sutherland. Alongisde will be a large selection of work by emerging and established contemporary artists.
With prices from the low hundreds to hundeds of thousands, it is not to be missed!
