Born in Cardiff, South Wales in 1962 and started work as a darkroom technician at a leading advertising agency in Cardiff (1976 - 1982). Then moved on to be a commercial photographer for 15 years (1983 - 1998) and have been a picture framer for the past 24 years. I have always enjoyed painting and whilst recovering from an illness in 2017 I found myself with time to paint, and it was during this time I decided to pursue my passion. Framing lot's of wonderful artwork over the years has been a total inspiration. I moved to Aberporth in 2019 with my partner Ann and built a studio during lockdown. I enjoy painting in watercolour and oil, mostly still life paintings but like to experiment with abstract.
