At Art College I specialised in drawing & painting, and particularly enjoyed the challenges of drawing from the life model. I also developed a real interest in portraiture.
I have since worked as an illustrator and designer for two giftware companies and a decorated tile manufacturer. I have produced book-cover illustrations and prepared artwork for an advertising agency. However, my leaning was always towards developing my portraiture & in the last 10-12 years I have focused all my energies on this.
I have been invited to many fundraising events and other public occasions to show ‘on the spot’ demonstrations. Conveying the individuality in every face is always a fascination. In this way, I have created portraits for countless satisfied customers.
My work has been largely centered around the south of England but has also taken me to places as far afield as Australia where my portraits were met with the same appreciation.
I am now based in Poole, Dorset, with it’s beautiful sandy beaches. The famous Jurassic Coast & Purbeck Hills are a short drive away. I have been fortunate in that the area attracts many visitors & this has given me the opportunity to draw faces from a variety of cultures & backgrounds.
