About The Artist

I have been drawing and painting on and off since childhood. On leaving school I started as a draughtsman in a technical drawing office and worked in the petrochem industry.

My Painting tends toward realism as I believe it tempts a greater scrutiny of the subject, but I try to adapt style according to what suits the subject.

My work is mostly Acrylic and Graphite though I sometimes use Gouache. I like to play with images to throw the eye a little. Again, I think it encorages the viewer to look more closely at the painting and hopefully provokes a response, reaction, thoughts etc.

Art Group / Exhibitions

I have exhibited in London and Surrey, largely at the Mall Gallery, where I won the Debra Manifold Prize in 2019. I have also had work accepted for The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation; The Royal Society of Portrait Painters and The Lynn Painter Stainers Prize.
