I am a self taught artist working since 1997. I originally started out by painting horses and dogs, being commissioned many times for my realistic style. During this period I exhibited at agricultural and horse shows to promote my work. Alongside animal portraits I was also trying out other styles, producing anything from traditional landscapes, developing impressionism and finally finding a real passion for abstract and contemporary works.

Over the past 6 years I have worked on many different styles, using different mediums and textures to create what I now produce today. Having had the opportunity to develop a variety of styles I have been able to grow as an artist bringing a higher level of skill and creativity to the forefront of my current paintings.

The common elements of my work are rich colours, multi-faceted layering and statement texturing. This brings depth, energy and a unique feel to all of my work. Every painting I work with I develop organically from my subconscious thoughts; by opening up the doors in my mind to create from within. Then there is the challenge of my feelings so that each piece reflects a particular moment in time. My aim is to produce something so original, by working on the abstract elements of the design that it will stimulate interest, discussion and emotion, whilst adding colour to an otherwise empty space. It is important to me that every painting has its own true identity and a sense of itself.
