I count myself very lucky that I have found what I truly love to do . . . animals have always featured strongly in my life; my family have had dogs and cats since my earliest memories. My three rescue dogs, Buddy, Max and LucyLou and two cats, Mr Frodo and Jinxie are a source of inspiration and endless practice opportunities from day to day.

Once a college lecturer, I am now working as a portrait artist and also a home tutor. I live in Hampshire with my family.

Thanks for visiting my site - come back again and view my ever-growing gallery. You can also follow my latest activities on my drawing board on facebook or my blog.

Here's where it all happens - my studio at home. My work is being carefully checked by Max; or is he checking the pigeons on the roof?
