My art comes from a love of animals and the natural world. Originally from Manchester I spent my childhood exploring the often hidden patches of wilderness found in all towns and cities.

Later I moved to East Lancashire where I worked as a gardener. During that time my hobby slowly changed into a part time job when I did commissions for the Lancashire Wildlife Trust and the National Trust, in addition to private pet portrait commissions.

I now live in the beautiful Ribble Valley and concentrate on my art work. My interest in horses and farm animals has come from the many friends I have made here from the equine and farming community.

I live with my partner who is a web designer and we have a pet Ferret Bramble.
