A painter of people and sometimes animals, I am lucky enough to live and work in and around the beautiful Mendip Hills in Somerset, just outside Bristol. I have been painting people for about 20 years now and aside from the actual painting, my favourite part of being a portrait painter is meeting new people and hearing all about their lives.

I take on approximately ten / twelve commissions a year as well as running monthly portrait painting workshops and life drawing sessions from my studio, teaching workshops for other arts studios across the country, entering Open Calls and running ‘arts for wellbeing’ courses at a local mental health charity based in Wells, Somerset.

 I have exhibited my paintings at The Royal Society of Portrait Painters, The Bath Society of Artists, The Birmingham Society of Artists and Wells Art Contemporary to name a few. I have also shown my work in group shows in London and Bristol and regularly take part in my annual local Arts Trial. In 2025 I was a finalist on Portrait Artist of the Year, series 12 where I had the pleasure of painting James May, Mary Berry and Brian Cox.

Ultimately, what is it to be human? The way we look and behave is continually fascinating to observe and keeps me excited about portraiture.
