Artist Statement:
I love painting the natural
world in particular birds and
flowers. I obtain my reference
material by sketching and
taking photographs in the
countryside, and wildlife
sanctuaries. My botanical
paintings are painted directly
from nature and can take many
weeks of work. ...

| Your Personal Biography |
After studying art at the Norwich School of Art & Design I was very fortunate that my first exhibition caught the eye of a renowned publishing house and set me off on a very successful illustrating career.
My love of nature in particular flowers and birds has had the most influence on my work. As well as sketching in the local countryside I take photographs at zoos and wildlife sanctuaries. This reference material I then use in my studio to create intimate portraits of the natural world.
My still life’s are set up in the studio and usually feature flowers, blue & white china, crystal and lace. I have recently gained a diploma in botanical illustration which has led to a new passion for painting plants in minute detail, however I also enjoy painting landscapes and wildlife in a looser more expressive technique.
