Behind the art...
Thanks for being here! Painting is mainly a hobby for me as my free time is often spent creating artwork or outdoors. My work tends to have a flair of realism and I like to challenge myself with all the details. I enjoy using bright colours to capture moments and bring scenes to life.
This site was created to share some of my pieces - a number of originals are available to buy, along with some limited edition prints. Please get in touch if you're interested in purchasing.
What is my niche?
If you've seen my work at a show the contrast in what I paint is rather unusual. However, there is a link between the cute things and fighter jets... whilst at uni I joined the RAF reserves and have always loved watching things fly, so why not paint them too? Day-to-day I am surrounded by British wildlife which is why they feature heavily in my collections. Also, who doesn't love cows?
Where did I start?
Ever since I was young I have loved creating things. Picking up a paintbrush allows me to get lost in another world of creativity inspired by things I see. I studied art until GCSE where I received an A*, but decided A level Art was too complex so took an environmental route. Whilst studying Environmental Science at the University of York I continued painting on the side - my friends began to challenge me to paint all sorts of requests including many pet portraits. Over time I've built up a collection and branched out to other subjects. I now paint using acrylics on canvas to create originals, then develop these into greeting cards, coasters, and mugs.
