Born in 1963 in Southeast London, I am a self taught artist and have been painting since I was around 10 years old.

I paint cityscapes and landscapes in oil, watercolour and mix media. I am particularly interested in bringing to life landscapes associated with London, my home town. One of my main fascinations is the River Thames. I love the dry docks; I wish some of the old buildings could have been saved as the modern structures which replaced them are not so interesting to me.

I paint plein air as much as possible, in all weathers, as I find this really helps capture the atmosphere of the place I am painting. This year I have been lucky enough to have been accepted as a guest member with the Wapping group of artists. They meet at different locations up and down the Thames to paint plein air. It has been a great experience to paint with these guys and has really boosted my confidence.

I have recently exhibited at Studio 61 (Blackheath, London) and from mid November 2011 will have a small number of paintings on show on a permanent basis.

This website showcases a range of my work but I would also be very happy to take on a commission if there is something, someone or somewhere special that you would like me to paint.
