ABOUT ME

I'm a painter and illustrator based in Malvern, Worcestershire specialising in portraiture. I work in oil on canvas, and my subjects are people, sculptures, and figures in imaginary landscapes. I undertake a variety of painting commissions.  

​​

I started drawing and painting from an early age, studying the Old Master techniques by visiting galleries, and practising observational drawing and painting. After completing my university education I lectured on the Creative Media MA at Worcester University for three years, as well as taking on commissions.

​​

A painting has the power to stir an emotional impact within the viewer, and is a window into another reality. A painted portrait takes time, patience, and skill to create. During the painting process I interpret the subject through my eyes; capturing the person's essence, character and personality. In the painting they become immortal as their image is preserved forever in time. So is the moment and memory.​​

​

My past commissions include:

'The Official Portrait of John Bateman OBE, Chair of Governors, University of Worcester' 2022

'The Official Portrait of the Very Reverend Dr Peter Atkinson, Dean of Worcester Cathedral' 2018​
