Description:
I was born in Bermondsey, London, and studied at art school, where I gained my City and Guilds Diploma in Illustration. That led to a long and rewarding career as an illustrator, including work as a Chief Technical Illustrator for British Aerospace, Rolls-Royce and NASA.
All the while, painting remained my first love. After several successful exhibitions in London, I decided to paint full-time. That allowed me to combine painting with my passion for travel. I’ve gathered inspiration from places around the world and held shows in cities including Frankfurt, Paris and Edinburgh. Over the years, my paintings have also appeared on magazine covers, prints, calendars, greeting cards and in book illustrations.
I’m best known for picturesque landscapes, iconic city views from London to Venice and New York, and the peaceful pleasures of time spent with family and friends: a game of village cricket, a day by the sea or a snowy afternoon in the countryside. I enjoy working on board in smaller sizes, and I paint in an impressionistic style.
Today I live in the Bedfordshire countryside with my wife.
