About The Artist

He's never without a sketchbook, and uses the sometimes cartoonish/line drawings and digital imagery to inform paintings. He is a self confessed disciplinarian too, when it comes to work; drawings and layout first, this is important “not leaving anything to chance”. Once the theme and drawings are collated he spends time designing a palette of colours. Drawing books are full of various palettes to suit each series of work. “Working in this way, in series, keeps me fresh. I enjoy the excitement of a new series; inventing new colours and fresh palettes, its one of the less frustrating tasks too”. I am gallery artist at the Old Courthouse Gallery, Cumbria; Velvet Easel, Edinburgh and the Sarah Robinson-Gay, Hexham.
