After living as an artist and gallerist in Vietnam for 12 years, I returned to my Yorkshire roots in 2024. Vietnam was a transformative experience that reshaped my outlook, enriched my colour palette, and made me a more expressive artist.

Mythologies that underpin our cultures, from Confucianism to Celtic legends, Aboriginal dreaming to Chinese horoscopes, and the rites of prehistory, have given me insights into the way folklore, traditions, and landscapes shape our identities. These are themes I return to again and again. Recurring themes in my paintings are our shared origins, a sense of place and belonging and my need to express a total joy of life. My paintings, in watercolour and in acrylics, are distinguished by vivid colours, a playful use of pattern and symbolism.

My paintings are collected in the USA, Australia, South East Asia and Europe. Commissions are welcomed.
