I was born in 1972, in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. I studied Fine Art at Chester College and Staffordshire University. Later I moved to St Ives, Cornwall. Here I had my first one person show at The Salthouse Gallery in 1995,followed
by a further solo exhibition at Galeria Punkt,Gdansk,Poland in 1996.

Mixed exhibitions have since included David Holmes Contemporary Art, Peterborough, Collyer Bristow Gallery, London, The Millinery Works Gallery, London,The Millenium Gallery,St Ives and The Belgrave Gallery,St Ives.

I left Cornwall in the late nineties to live in a remote shepherds hut in the Corbieres region of France. The hut was without running water and electricity-very primitive. Here i continued to paint ,finding a much deeper connection with the landscape.

I have since returned to Cornwall. However, the French experience influenced a decision to step back from showing my paintings and instead to focus on developing a large body of work, much of which has not yet been seen.
