My influences are largely from the realist tradition.

My approach is based on observation. In depicting the presence of the subject, I am particularly interested in the effects of light on the face and figure.

I enjoy using a range of media, but mostly I employ oils, pastels, charcoal and conté crayon.

I hold a Diploma in Fine Art from MET Northbrook College, Worthing. My work has been shown in exhibitions in London, Brighton, Chichester, and Worthing.

I am on the committee of the West Sussex Art Society and am a member of the Adur Art Collective. I regularly exhibit with both societies.
