I studied Fine Art, Painting at UCLan where my degree show work featured and sold in two London galleries, including the prestigious 'Northern Graduates' show in 1999. I am currently teach Art in a school in Preston.
My current work is based on my own photographs taken locally which are predominately sky-scapes and landscapes in the Ribble Valley and Bowland. I then develop studies of these images isolating abstract shapes and heightened colours to create what I hope are atmospheric and compelling pieces of work.
My influences range from JMW Turner to more contemporary work by Jenny Savile, Peter Rush, Fred Cuming, Mary Ann Wakely and Cy Twombly.
