I was born and educated in Eastbourne where I gained a distinction in Art and Design at Eastbourne College of Arts. I then moved to Cornwall where I studied Illustration, graduating with a BA First Class Honours Degree, and then went on to achieve an MA Illustration at Falmouth College of Arts.
My work has been exhibited in various venues internationally, in both solo and mixed exhibitions. I have recently been the artist in residence at Falmouth Docks.
As a painter living in Falmouth, my basic painting principle is a commitment to document and engage with the landscape in all its forms. I therefore paint a varied range of landscape subjects, from seascapes to heavy industry, using both drawing in-situ and studio based painting in my practice.
Influenced by my own personal experiences, I creatively wish to unveil the beauty of my surroundings through the medium and poetry of painting.
"Poetry turns all things to loveliness… it adds beauty to that which is most deformed [and]… lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they where not familiar." Percy Bysshe Shelley
