Tell us a bit about yourself:
My life started in Prestbury, Cheshire many years ago. My upbringing being divided between England, South Africa (Johannesburg and Vanderbijlpark) and the city I have always considered my only true home– Bulawayo, Rhodesia.

For me art is a passion, an obsession.

Ever artists gets pleasure from being able to create. As a self-taught artist I've had the privilege of having three of my paintings hung at exhibitions in Manchester, London and Paris.

Besides England and France my work has received viewings in Scotland, Australia. New Zealand, South Africa, America, Mexico and Ireland.

All my art is a personal achievement, being an artist comes from within by releasing my thoughts and feelings.

As well as being a part-time artist. I also hold down a full time job – not easy for a busy artist! The artist having the most influence on my work are John Myatt, Rolf Harris and Bob Dylan, I think you will agree this is a strange combination.

A lot of my work is based around my own photographs as well as using old photos and history book reference materials to stimulate the build up images.

My aim is to create paintings that exemplify the exquisite buildings that can be found in our modern cities. I sometimes feel my work would benefit from being exhibited in the cities the buildings are situated in, but that’s just a dream at the moment.

As an artist I take my art seriously, it's the passion of creating something new - something from the heart!
