It is with a great sense of colour and love of pattern, and nature in all it's guises that I convey the beauty of horses in my art.
I am happy to paint on a commission basis and will ask you questions about your friend to make sure that I capture the true character of your horse.
I specialise in equine portraits and am an active member of the Association of Animal Artists, and the
Society of Equestrian Artists.
I have strong links with East Cheshire Pony Club and have made lots of young horse lovers happy with portraits of their pony! If you are a Pony Club member and would like to commission me I will donate £20 of every portrait to World Horse Welfare
My mediums of choice are acrylics and oils.
Acrylic allows me to experiment with colour and texture, whilst I like to use oil for a more classical approach to portrait painting.

THE BIG PAINTING CHALLENGE
I feel thoroughly privileged to have been selected from over 6000 hopefuls to take part in The Great Painting Challenge on BBC1. It was a terrifying, stressful, enriching, unforgettable experience that I hope I can put to good use in my work going forward. I met some wonderful people that have become good friends and we were all excited to be exhibiting together after the series ended.
The most rewarding thing for me would be if I knew that the show had inspired people that have never picked up a brush or pencil before, to have a go. I am a firm believer that anyone can paint - you just have to practice!
