Born in West Yorkshire in 1974. From as early as I can remember I have always been
drawing and painting, and it’s been my sole passion all my life. After gaining a degree
as an illustrator I began to realize I enjoyed more fine art painting as it didn't have the
restraints of illustrative work. Through this I gained success painting animals,
particularly dogs, I also started to do more portraiture work.
 
In my work I try to bring the elements of illustration and fine art together to hopefully
create a style which is totally unique and appeals to a varied audience. I enjoy working
from, realistic to abstract and everything in between. I work predominantly in oils, and
 
acrylic.
 
I am always grateful that I am able to make a living out of my love of painting.
