I grew up in Warwickshire and spent much of my early life wandering in its woods and fields. A passionate lover of wildlife, I have drawn and painted birds and wildlife for as long as I can remember. I sketch from life and make more finished works in watercolour in the studio. I also make linocuts and drypoints.

 

My work is published in calendars and greetings cards and I have recently helped to illustrate a book on exotic chickens.

 

I try to avoid sentimentality but am happy to acknowledge my own emotional response to the natural world.

I have travelled widely in Europe, the USA, Asia and Africa and carry a sketchbook wherever I go.

For many years I have owned and run the Right Angle Gallery in Brackley, Northamptonshire, with my wife and fellow artist Val.
