Biography

Born in Coventry in 1974. Based between Hove in the UK and Ottawa in Canada.

I attended Coventry University, first gaining a Diploma in Art and Design in 1992 and then a BA in Graphic Design in 1996. I have since gone on to form a career over the past 12 years as a graphic designer and illustrator at the same time continuing to paint and gradually forming my own style.

A self taught artist, I now paint with acrylics rather than oils, their rapid drying time of minutes instead of days allows me to keep greater vibrancy in my colours while the clearly defined brush strokes bring a sculptural quality into my paintings.

Typically I paint from reference photography. This is necessary in many instances to enable an accurate depiction of a particular scene, pose or expression that would otherwise be difficult or impossible for a subject to maintain for the time required to complete a painting.
