My Profile

My art reflects my love and passion for colour, texture and emotions. I always try and reduce images to more simplistic forms, strong lines and bold colours, so that my paintings and drawings allow you to come up your own interpretations and feelings. Inspiration often comes from things and people I see every day and a number of illustrators, such as Quentin Blake, Charles M Schultz, Beatrix Potter and EH Shepherd… As well as artists such as Rockwell, Degas and Klimt, as well as more recently Stephen Hanson and Kurt Jackson. Starting off as a pet illustrator, creating oversized charcoal drawings, I used lockdown to explore other mediums and styles which has now enabled me produce a variety of different artworks. I have been so lucky to have exhibited in Greece, London, Bath, Coventry, rugby and Compton Verney, as well as more locally in Leamington spa. My artwork will hopefully spark an emotion with you, often humour, but always joy and love.
