About Me

---

I have climbed the mountains and explored the valleys of North Wales and drawn and painted for as long as I can remember. Paintings are invariably executed on location with copious colour notes and sketches then finished in my studio.

I find inspiration in the detail of a dry stone wall, the poignancy of deserted farms, the echo of empty forests and animated streams. I can also be inspired by an O.S. map or a favourable weather forecast. I walk a lot!

I studied at Manchester College of Art and Design and Cardiff University, I have had artwork reproduced by The Sunday Times, The Times Educational Supplement, The Observer and many periodicals, produced advertisements for Yorkshire Television, designed and illustrated books and other publications as well as exhibitions for The National Trust, The Rambler’s Association, The Concrete and Cement Association, The Welsh Books Council, Kellogg’s, Marks & Spencer, BBC and many others.

Paintings have been exhibited in major galleries throughout the country and my work can be seen in many corporate and public collections including Airbus, AirAsia, Castle House, Clwyd County Council, Maelor Pharmaceuticals and Unilever. My paintings are also found in many private collections in this country and in the USA, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, France, Germany, Estonia and Chile. Published by RotoVision and Blurb and was recently featured in ‘A Dictionary of Artists in Wales, Post-war to Post-modern’ by Gomer Press.
