Contemporary Artist and Designer
 |
Born in 1952 in Barton-upon-Humber. I spent much of my childhood growing up in Scarborough before moving to York in 1972.
I am married with three children and have always been interested in art.
I am a self taught artist and enjoy experimenting with colour, texture and different styles.
Inspiration for my work comes from a wide variety of everyday sources and events. I have a great sensitivity towards people and surroundings and this is reflected in my paintings.
I have exhibited at The Mulberry Bush, York; Prime Arts, Bath; Sewerby Park, Bridlington, The Courtyard Gallery, Malton and have taken part in the York Open Art Exhibitions as well as undertaking many private commissions for customers both in England and abroad.
One of my most recent pieces has just been selected to be included in:
THE York Open Summer Exhibition, hosted by Bar Lane Studios and the New School House Gallery to run from 1 August until 29 August 2010.
In addition to my paintings I have recently introduced a range of household accessories which are both practical and decorative.
Each item has been individually handpainted and handcrafted by myself in my studio in Yorkshire.
Many of these are already proving very popular and I am busy extending the range and developing new ideas.
