About my work
In 2020 I was delighted to be chosen as the Official Artist for this year’s Tour de Yorkshire following in the footsteps of Lucy Pittaway and Mackenzie Thorpe. This was a huge honour and great recognition. Despite the event being postponed, the artwork, painted in my distinct style, consisting of 6 originals, limited-edition prints and greetings cards, was released and is on display in the Gallery.
I have been nominated as a finalist in the Fine Art Trade Guild’s UK Most Popular Published Artist.
I not only paint for my own Gallery but continue to supply other galleries nationally and can still be seen at events such as The Great Yorkshire Show, The Great Yorkshire Christmas Fair, Art in the Pen and Living North. My commission list is also continuing to grow with a waiting list
About
I have been painting professionally since 2008 and had combined this with teaching Art at Secondary School until I left in order to pursue my career full time.
I paint in oil producing figurative landscapes and townscapes in my own distinctive style featuring genuine places in and around Yorkshire. I bring reality to these settings through observing relationships and everyday situations and being true to life. My characters are all fictional and their faces are rarely revealed in order to keep them anonymous, yet everyone knows and recognises them. Every picture, and the title tells a story, but the narrative of that story is determined by the observer and what it means to them.
I also paint “The Wonderful World of George and Daphne”, which is a series of quirky, brightly coloured paintings, again using Yorkshire for inspiration. As well as the exclusive Gallery Collection, the prints are circulated to retail outlets throughout the UK through Artko Publishers.
