About Me
I was born in East Anglia in 1966. I have been painting in oils for over thirty-five years. I paint highly detailed landscapes that tie in with events and experiences in his life. I also paint portraits using traditional techniques to produce work of exceptional quality, sometimes on a large scale. I attempt to produce paintings that reflect the way I see the world — in some way tactile, sensitive, and meaningful to me.
My work has been collected across the world. I was lucky enough to be a BP Portrait Award finalist in 2015 and 2017 at the National Portrait Gallery in London. For all portrait or commission enquiries, contact me directly using the contact form.
