Growing up in a small village meant I spent my childhood in the countryside where I first developed my love of nature, a passion for the beauty of trees, fields and the magic of water.

Spending much of my time on my  narrowboat, I can capture first hand all these things and be in the perfect environment to be constantly inspired by what I see, animals, birds, wonderful landscapes and the ever changing moods of the seasons.

The need to paint has always been with me, to try and capture what I see, to share my experiences with everyone so they can see what a wonderful place we live in, and to hopefully make us appreciate it.

If you are interested in purchasing any of my pictures you can order and pay for them on-line.
