About Me

I am a professional Artist with over 5 years in full time business. During that time I have created some significant artworks including work for The Household Cavalry, The Horse Trust & The Derbyshire Bat Group.

I am a proud member of the Association of Animal Artists & The Society of Equestrian Artists.

Following a recent move from the renowned Banks Mill Studios in Derby, I have now expanded to a bright studio space at Edge 2 Studios, on the 1st floor of West End Mill in Long Eaton, Derbyshire.

I specialise in highly detailed, lively, colourful, modern paintings. I use a unique style of painting with acrylic paint on canvas, using the paint both densely & in washes of colour. Working from photographs, I create a contemporary interpretation of my subjects.

My portraits are created on a commission basis by working closely with my clients to create a bespoke work of art to treasure.

My animal art is my own creative works inspired by the variety & detail in nature itself. The Original artworks, Prints, Greeting Cards and Homewares can be purchased from my online shop, They can also be purchased at events, exhibitions and stockists.

I geniunely feel blessed to be doing a job that I love, it feeds the soul to know that customers love the art I create!

Brightening days at The Royal Derby Hospital

I was selected by the Air Arts team to create artworks for the upcoming exhibition entitled “ Celebrate”.

Air Arts is the arts charity for University Hospitals of Derby and Burton. It was established in 2007 with the aim of creating a calm and welcoming environment, providing support and reassurance for patients, staff and visitors, enhancing the environment and providing moments of reflection and distraction. Inspired by a photo of my own dog on his lockdown birthday, I created 3 x bright & cheerful canvas artwork’s entitled “ Party Animals”

The exhibition is a year long & is officially launched on Thursday 18th May. You will find my work on level 2 of the hospital, close to ICU.

Derbyshire collaboration

I’ve proudly joined forces with award winning Derby gift company – Colleague Box. I’m part of a fantastic collaboration of Derbyshire businesses for their new “Taste of Derbyshire” gift box.

It is the first in a series of gifts celebrating all that is great about our local regions across the UK.

My artwork entitled “The Finest Ram” was used on greetings cards, which are in every box. These will have a message to the recipient inside them.

Last Post for Christmas Delivery

Gosh hasn’t this year gone quickly?!
And now it’s only a few days until Christmas. Unfortunately my postal cut off point for purchases is earlier this year due to the postal strikes. However if you are local to Derby, then you are welcome to collect from my Studio up until a couple of days before!
Have a wonderful relaxing time to all 🎄
