I am a self taught artist living in a small town in Northamptonshire.   And  work in a small studio in my garden.  At the back end of last year  I started to exhibit my work, with encouragement from friends and family.

I have always enjoyed creating, and have turned my hand to many a  project other than art over the years, but  the last 12 years have been focused mostly on my art.

 

The natural world never ceases to amaze me with all of its  beauty and colour.  So it's no surprise that my art direction has taken me to capture wildlife, and  showcase my love of animals .

I started out with painting my own pets to frame and treasure, some years ago and from there I have worked on a number of different subjects.  I also like to paint, but coloured pencils are my go to tools for detail.

 

Getting the fur, facial features, and anatomy right with subjects that refuse to stand still could prove to be challenging to say the least. So I tend to use good quality photos for reference with full permission from the photographer if used.
