Biography

I am a North East England-based Artist and Illustrator. I started drawing when I was a child, following in my father's talented footsteps, who gave me the inspiration and encouragement to pursue a career in the Arts. I trained as an Illustrator before going on to study for a BA Honours degree in Graphic Design at the University of Sunderland and a Master of Arts at Northumbria University. After a successful career in digital media, I now create scenes of landscapes, cities, and coastlines with an impressionist style, en plein air, and in my studio with oil paints. I am inspired by the cycle of natural colours which the changing seasons bring to British scenery. By working quickly I aim to create harmony and texture using natural and/or vivid colours, to evoke a sense of being there, capturing a moment in time.
