It all started with family commissions!

I have always loved drawing and an hour passes very quickly when I'm lost in a piece of artwork. In the early days I would draw any picture that caught my eye, copying photos of horses, people, and sometimes random objects, just to practice shading and depth.

It was always a hobby for my own pleasure which was neglected due to family and career until recently when life changed a little and I had time to do a few commission drawings for friends and family. Since then I haven't looked back and I love the challenge of capturing a true likeness and the character of the subject I am drawing and I really love the reactions of my customers to their pictures. Now I have a much better work, life balance that enables me to do what I love...including spending the time I need with my beautiful family!

My love of horses has always inspired my drawing and is responsible for its beginnings. As a horse mad teenager I would spend hours drawing horses, and art was always my favourite lesson at school. Then after many years of never having the time to pick up a pencil I was inspired and motivated after following the work of a very talented young man who produced amazing commissions. He inadvertently pushed me to not only continue drawing but to develop and improve myself. Now I know I'll never stop and can finally call myself an artist!
