Thanks for looking at my gallery.
I live in Ystrad Mynach, not far from Caerphilly South Wales.
Since a young child I've always drawn.
I studied at Gwent college of higher education in Newport where I learnt some invaluable lessons.
For some years after leaving I concentrated solely on Watercolour, then I discovered the works of Carl brenders, which for me, and I know this is a cliche was a life changing experience.
Soon after I discovered British pencil artists such as Peter Hildick and david Dancey wood.
I now combine my love for animals, with my love of pencil work. I work on wildlife and pet portraiture.
Hoping to do justice to each animal I portray.
If you would like me to do a portrait of your pet, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks for looking and reading
I suppose I've learnt the hard way, by my own mistakes.
I dont see that my abilty makes me better than anyone, but with what I've learnt if I can pass on to anyone when I'm teaching and help them improve great.
I am available for one to one tuition in either Watercolour or pencil work, and can do group demonstrations if required.
If I can help anyone, in anyway, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you
