After a long career as a consulting civil and structural engineer I studied Art & Design for three years at Art Academy East in Norwich. 
I currently work full time as an artist, mainly concentrating on Norfolk landscapes. 
I also specialise in dog portraits, using colour and expression to capture the character of our  pets.
For landscapes and dog portraits I usually paint in oil allowing me time to blend and mix colours on the canvas, subsequently layering to produce a sense of richness and depth.  
For still life projects I use mixed media, dependant on the subject and the effect I wish to produce.
