Yorkshire born and bred: a trained graphic designer with a strong illustrative style borne from my voracious childhood reading: Rupert The Bear; Swallows and Amazons; Just William, and countless comics from both sides of the Atlantic. They all featured drawings which led directly to my current style of strong line drawings in ink, with watercolour washes applied in varying degrees to focus the viewer’s eye.

I draw inspiration (pun intended!) from many sources – Yorkshire’s glorious Dales and Coast, the stunning Lake District, city, village and townscapes – and I  always look for dynamic viewpoints with interesting perspective and strong light and shadows rather than the usual picture postcard view.

My work is in many private collections both in the UK and internationally, and I love to do commissions, whether a house portrait, memento of a special holiday or a family event…just get in touch.

Thanks for dropping by, and please have a look around my site..
