I was born in Lancashire , England in 1962 and emigrated to South Africa in 1970. After training in the Air Force, I pursued my love of art and design at the University of Natal and graduated with bachelor of architecture in 1992.

I have over 20 years experience as an artist and have had work exhibited locally and internationally. My original oil paintings are designed to tell a story and portray the heroism and action this country is known for.

Other areas include children's book illustration and book cover design. I have worked with several publishers and authors over the years and have many published works.

My wife and I work from a studio at home doing art, digital work and typesetting.
Apart from oil paintings and illustrations I also do artists impressions, company logo design and C. D covers etc.
