About me

I am a portrait artist based in Oxfordshire. I work in oils in a bold figurative style with fluid brush work and strong use of colour and tone. I always show attention to detail and pride myself that I can get a likeness of anyone who sits for me. I am equally happy capturing the intimate atmosphere of a cafe or the fleeting changes of a busy town scene. I paint what I encounter.

I have put on several one man shows and am a member of Oxford Art Society where I also regularly exhibit.

I have thirty years’ experience as an art teacher and have a BA Hons in Professional Studies in Education. I currently work for Abingdon and Witney College and was voted “Teacher of the Year 2020″ in Oxfordshire Adult Learning Faculty of the college. I teach courses in oils, acrylics, watercolours, portraiture, and life drawing. I also do outreach teaching in the community, working in hospitals and with people who are recovering from drug addiction.
