Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. I have had a passion for drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. After completion of my education at the local comprehensive school I followed this passion into working in a Photographic/Darkroom studio, I have also worked as a Graphic Artist in a number of studios in the Newcastle Upon Tyne area. I am an Artist who works mainly in watercolours but on occasion in other mediums. One of my main inspirations (although not solely) comes from a deep love of everything nautical, especially from the beautiful Northumberland coastline of England.
