I
love to illustrate for children At present I am working on writing
and illustrating my own children's books.
My
paintings and photographs have been exhibited in group and solo
exhibitions
I
also create commerical artwork..
Originally I am from Scarborough in Yorkshire, England. Now I
live and work in Central Maine, USA.
My
career has been a
diverse path 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 ( working 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 companies to
the manufacturing industry. I've also been lucky enough to have
had my art presented to the British Royal Family.
I
love my menagerie of animals, the snow, the sea (and sailing),
fish and chips and mushy peas, and a good pint of Guiness!
I
hope I get to work with you soon!
