I am enjoying my second career as a professional artist. I paint and draw from observation most days and my work is based on my sketches. I love the vibrant colour and texture that can be obtained from oils, I also produce some mixed media, pastel and charcoal work. I am based at my large studio in Vernon Mill, where I  teach oil painting and painting with a palette knife every week. I also am available for demonstrations and workshops in the North West, West Yorkshire and East Midlands areas.
