I'm a Sheffield-born artist working chiefly in the Yorkshire region; fortunate enough to be capable to work in a number of media, but my particular passion is water colour and my obsession is light; the different atmospheres it brings, the surprising colour combinations that are sometimes needed to describe its extraordinary effects, the exquisite way in which light, or the lack of it, can be simply represented to hint at form while leaving the rest to the imagination; these are several of the challenges, and the rewards - and watercolour lends itself so beautifully to the cause. An architect until 1992, I gave it up to do what I have always loved - painting. And I found to my surprise that I have an affinity with all aspects of fields of Art. Let me introduce you to several of them.
