Welcome to my website, a showcase of my fine art and illustration work. Here, you’ll find a collection of pieces created over many years, spanning a wide range of subject matter, media, and techniques that have engaged and inspired me throughout my career.
The written word has played a key role in shaping much of my art. Novels, poetry, short stories, and even song lyrics have all provided rich sources of inspiration, and continue to fuel my creative process. Alongside my love for literature, I am also captivated by the everyday—whether through people watching or observing nature. Birds, in particular, are a recurring subject I find myself returning to time and time again.
My work spans a variety of media. While my paintings are primarily created using acrylics, I also enjoy working with pastels, pen & ink, watercolours, collage, and mono-printing. In recent years, my illustrative works have evolved to include digital techniques, using Photoshop, often in combination with other traditional media.
I live in Cambridge. I am a full-time senior lecturer in art, design & media at Cambridge Regional College (Further Education) . Alongside teaching during the day I run a life drawing evening class at Cambridge Regional College
