B. South Shields 1973
I have been a full time artist for nearly 20 years. Like many I have drawn and painted from before I can remember. The power of putting marks on a piece of paper and how that connects and can communicate emotion with people has always been inspiring for me.
The main body of my work is painting from life, city scenes landscapes, portraits and more narrative studio pieces. I try and capture life as I see it taking influence from past masters such as Sargent , Hopper , Zorn as well as modern culture reflecting back impressions made by a love of film.
I paint predominantly in oils mostly on site infront of the subject. Working on canvas or panels to produce a fairly accurate render hopefully with a soul and purpose.
