After leaving Cleveland College of Art (England), I moved down to London in 1988 and worked as a freelance illustrator . Between editorial commissions I did a number of paintings and studies of a variety of the capital's landmarks. I exhibited these paintings locally in North London (Muswell Hill, Highgate and Crouch End). These exhibitions were successful and lead onto exhibiting at St. Martins Gallery in Trafalgar Square .

As well as selling my paintings and prints from these exhibitions I have been commissioned to paint public houses, restaurants and hotels.Sometimes clients would like a caricature or portrait of themselves or a famous celebrity they admire. And I’m quite happy to paint it for them.
