About me and my work

 

I am an award-winning British artist, and art instruction author. My original paintings are sold in selected galleries in the UK and abroad, and my work has been shown by some of Britain's leading art institutions, including The Pastel Society and The Society of British Artists. My prints have been sold world-wide, together with my books and videos. I am offering a selection of Limited Edition prints via this website, but of course, if you would prefer an original, please do talk to me about this.

The Artist magazine :

 

 

"Pastels Workshop is an excellent book, the only workshop manual yet, during which I did not suffer from that "oh not that again" syndrome, and which almost made me feel the presence of a patient tutor hovering beyond the easel, anticipating my every need with a smile".
