I grew  up in Cambridgeshire  and at the age of seven had my first contact with horses, which led to a lifelong love affair with this animal.

I have always been passionate about animals – domestic or wild, and I have tried to convey this feeling in my paintings. My aim is to convey the beauty, strength and colour of the animal. Some of my paintings are realistic in their presentation, whilst in others I have strayed away from photo-realism, attempting to catch the essence of the animal – be it power, grace or vulnerability.

Largely self-taught as a painter, I did attend a series of classes at Burton Manor on the Wirral, where I received a good insight into the techniques and properties of the various media. Since then I have attended such demos and classes as are relevant to my type of work.

I am a long-standing supporter and member of the RSPCA, and in 2008 joined the Society of Equestrian Artists as a friend, with a view to progressing eventually to associate membership. In 2009 I became an Associate of the Society of Feline Artists and in 2010 I joined the Wildlife Art Society International. I am a founder member of Animal Earth, an exciting new group which had its first exhibition in October 2009
