I am an amateur artist originally from Norfolk in the UK, now residing is Somerset in the rural village of Westonzoyland. I am self-taught having developed an interest in Art after taking early retirement in 2014.
My main artistic inspiration is wildlife having spent all my life living in small villages on or around farms growing up with wildlife.
I started out on my artistic journey developing airbrush skills using acrylic water based inks after being presented with an airbrush kit as a retirement present.  Always keen to explore other art mediums I also ventured into the world of coloured pencil artwork. This introduced me to pastels and to developing my skills with soft pastel sticks /pencils. More recently I have developed a keen interest in oil painting.
