A visual artist based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, I do most of my work in my home studio, painting from photos or composing a still-life, developing and interpreting the original picture, giving my own interpretation of the subject. Armed with a sketchbook and drawing or painting materials, I sometimes create sketches and simple studies to explore the outside world and my experiences of the outdoors. I often have more than one artwork on the go as I am always brimming over with ideas, and some work will take days, sometimes months to finish. My portfolio covers an eclectic range of subjects, styles and techniques and, with practice and experimentation, these have developed and matured over the years. Currently, I am consolidating my style and subject choices to develop a cohesive and comprehensive body of work.
