background
Since graduating as a printmaker from The University of Wales in 1996, I have continued to produce a wide range of design work. This has included photographic art, fine art painting, graphic design and wedding photography. Despite being a Lancastrian, I live and work in East Yorkshire; a very beautiful part of the country...same rose, different colour!

inspiration
Inspiration for my art work and design comes from many sources, resulting in a diverse and eclectic portfolio. With my photography I try to record anything that catches my eye; be it a cheeky Fiat 500 in an Italian side street or a beautiful architectural feature. Image collection is a real interest of mine as it gives me a vast choice when creating new work. Rome is my favourite photographic haunt and my Italian gallery grows with each visit I make...

Graphic design in all media is also an interest and one which consumes most of my time and energy. My aim is to show people that ClipArt is not the only way - people deserve better and it doesn't have to cost the earth!
