I was born in 1967 in Ashford, Kent and I paint predominanty `en plein air', in oil on board at every opportunity. I am married to my wife Joanna, have two young children, Bethany & Tobias and live in Wittersham, near Rye.
"I paint directly from nature and my work is my personal and immediate response to being submerged in the atmosphere. My continued learning to see colour has been a revelation and has opened my eyes to the beauty that surrounds us, even in the mundane"
LATEST NEWS
22nd August. My new studio is soon to be open. As well as my home studio I have taken on the lease of The old Village Gaol in Wittersham. It is my intention to have this studio available to myself and some close dedicated painter friends, both to do the occasional studio pictures, touch up our plein air studies and showcase our work at occasional times throughout the year.
