I've always drawn. If it makes someone smile, or think, or feel - even better. That's what it's about. I love to illustrate for children. I also produce commercial artwork.Originally from Scarborough in Yorkshire, England, I now live and work in Central Maine, USA. It's been a diverse path for me to full time illustrator and artist. I attended art college in York and Sunderland, then 'shipped out' and joined the Royal Navy to earn a living (and luckily worked in military Graphics Studios).
After my Naval career I was CEO of a lithographic printing business in Portsmouth, England, which gave me a solid foundation in print and design.My clients are diverse and worldwide, from publishing to manufacturing. I've also been lucky enough to have my art presented to the British Royal Family. I have shown in several museum group exhibitions and my work is collected by private and public clients.
When not doing art, you'll find me with my menagerie of pets, playing my tin whistle, or enjoying the sea (and sailing), dining on fish and chips and mushy peas, along with a good pint of Guiness!
