I was born in Bognor Regis, West Sussex and am now based in Kings Worthy, near Winchester, Hampshire, UK. I graduated from Newcastle University in 1988 with a Fine Art degree.

I am inspired by my surroundings – the countryside and coastlines of Hampshire and neighbouring counties – as well as still life subjects. I have exhibited my paintings locally and nationally in a range of galleries and art festivals. I also paint to commission and love to work with a client to create a unique painting for themselves or as a special gift.
