I live in Cookham, Berkshire and tend to paint landscapes and animals using Oils and Acrylics.

My work has become looser and more painterly over time, using thicker layers of paint. I am happy to work from good photos and accept commissions. The starting price for my artwork is £180 for smaller works. I also have high-quality Fine Art Giclée Prints of some of the paintings, which cost £40.

I have been painting in oils since I was 15. In 2003 I completed a HND in Fine Art at Reading College of Art and Design (now TVU), which allowed me to explore other mediums such as etching, ceramics, photography and screen printing. I prefer to work in oils and like being able to see the brush strokes in a painting, because I think this makes it more powerful and enhances the composition.

A Spring lockdown Still Life, ‘Daffodils’ (Oil on Board, 30 cm x 40cm). I thought the creamy yellow of the flowers contrasted well with the blue of the tablecloth. I made up the green background though; it just reminded me of Spring.
