Having lived in Devizes, Wiltshire for more than 20 years I have a deep affection for the beauty of the landscape and local wildlife of Wiltshire.  This is my constant inspiration.

Following redundancy in 2019 I decided to pursue my dream of turning my hobby into something more fulfilling.  I am now working as a full time, self employed artist.  I am entirely self taught and have always had a passion for art throughout my life.

I have exhibited locally and my signature piece, Barney the Barn Owl, has won awards.

I work in coloured pencil on a number of different surfaces but have found a great affinity with drafting film.   It gives an amazing depth of colour and allows for great detail and texture.

The coloured pencils I use have a guaranteed lightfast rating, ensuring that the images will not fade or discolour over time (provided they are not exposed to direct sunlight.)

I have recently chosen botanical subjects for my inspiration and am looking forward to exploring the local flora of Wiltshire for future projects.

I accept commissions for pet portraits, wildlife art or botanical subjects.
