Artist Statement:
I am an artist, freelance
illustrator and web designer
based in the Wirral,
overlooking the mouth of the

A working artist since 1993, I
have to date held 2 solo
exhibitions and have also
exhibited in numerous group
exhibitions. In 2006 I was

Wirral Society of Arts.
Since 2002 I have offered a

service (family/friends/pets),
which at present accounts for
over half the paintings I
produce. Portraits are
available as colour portrait
paintings or black and white
pencil drawings.
Trained in Illustration, I
have also received commissions
for illustration work from
clients including NatWest
Bank, BBC Worldwide, Random
House, Hallmark and Carlton
Cards. My work has featured
