I am an artist and photographer based in Streatham Hill. Born in Gateshead in 1964, I studied art at the University of Surrey Roehampton, and have since exhibited in both solo and group shows. Having been a resident of Streatham for over 35 years now, I’ve grown to appreciate its quiet green spaces as much as the bustle of the High Road. Since the first lockdown, I’ve drawn inspiration from long walks through the many parks and wild spaces of South London, notably Tooting Common, Wandswworth Common & Wimbledon Common, and the trees and wildlife found there. My work ranges from paintings in acrylic and oils to photography and digitally manipulated imagery, often focusing on landscapes and creatures both rural and urban, real and imagined. Most of the paintings and drawings displayed on my website are for sale, either as originals or as  high-quality Giclée prints.
