I studied at Bradford Art College with a traditional approach, encouraging good draughtsmanship. Mainly working in watercolour, pastel & oil. I love watercolour for its unpredictability & transparency; pastel for its immediacy & vibrancy and oil paint for its richness. My love of nature often features within my work whether it be fauna or natural landscapes. I do try to evoke a sense of light, atmosphere, drama, mood or emotion, in whichever media I choose to represent my vision.
I constantly view the world as art in itself, so inspiration is endless.
I have exhibited at various open exhibitions in the North of England & London, such as the Bradford Open, Calderdale Open, Ilkley Art Show, Patchings Open Art Exhibition, National Exhibition Of Wildlife Art & more recently, The Society of Wildlife Artists at the prestigious Mall Galleries in London. I have been received favourably, gaining The Daler Rowney Watercolour Award, The People's Choice Award and other prizes.
