I have been producing all kinds of artwork for most of my life.

      On graduating from Kingston University with a degree in Graphic design and Illustration, I joined a small art studio working on corporate and advertising accounts, making pack designs for numerous products such as Silk Cut cigarettes, Babycham and gardening products.I moved on to join IPC Business Press eventually becoming art editor of the Nursing Mirror magazine.

 My real love is illustration however and at the same time I was collaborating with my late father, John, on a series of children's books about a little dog called Ottie.I also contributed to a number of young peoples magazines, supplying attractive illustrations of new products for that age group.

Later,I provided the illustrations for a series of children's books by TV chat show host Michael Parkinson, 'The Woofits', and continued to work as a freelance book jacket illustrator after the birth of my second child in the later 1980's.

My caricature portraits have a proven track record of success,both locally and nationally for The Carbolic Smokeball company, www.carbolicsmokeballco.com   the company catalogue containing items drawn, painted or even sewn by myself.The success of this has led to this website!

 I currently live with my family in West Berkshire. I have four super kids, (three sons and a daughter) and spend many a happy hour at my other passion...my allotment!
