His
home is surrounded by the fields of a dairy farm and so his work is increasingly
of rural/pastoral subjects and it is the quality of light and the often
unexpected associations between animals, especially those between farm and wild
animals, that inspires my paintings.
"I became a full time wildlife
artist and illustrator in 1989 after winning British Birds magazine’s
prestigious ‘Bird Illustrator of the Year’ award. As well as painting for
exhibition, I have produced illustrations for many books, including ‘Handbook of
Birds of the World’, ‘Pigeons and Doves of the World’ and ‘Petrels and their
allies’."
Born 1967 in Romford,
Essex, he was elected a member of the Society of Wildlife Artists in 1993.
He now lives in Preston, Lancashire with his wife, daughter and twin sons.
