I am a Chesterfield-based artist working predominantly in acrylics. I use a range of styles, from pure abstract to more conventional landscape paintings.

I take my inspiration from many sources (sometimes a landscape, sometimes a simple colour combination or shape), and often let the painting process dictate how the finished work turns out, rather than planning what I want it to look like. I have tried not to be restricted by a single style, and I like to think that no one of my paintings would be representative of the entirety of my work.

A selection of my work is presented here, arranged into Galleries of similar styles. Alternatively, click here to view the Catalogue of pictures.

The majority of my paintings are for sale (unless indicated otherwise).
Prices are roughly in the range £200-£600.
I welcome any enquiries:

Playing in the Woods

August 2010, 101x76cm, Acrylic on canvas

I recently discovered that there is an ancient rock carving in the woods a short walk from my house, and there is another one at Gardom's Edge nearby. This painting is inspired by these two rock carvings.

I took my son to the woods to see the first one, and we wandered around the clearings and paths, playing with sticks and clambering over tree trunks. The patterns on the rocks made me think of the paths and clearings in the woods, and I tried to encorporate this experience into my painting.

This painting can be found in the Primitive gallery.
