Welcome !

I am an artist based in Chichester, in West Sussex, England. Until recently I lived in Glasgow, where I was based for over 20 years, my realistic style developing within the flourishing figurative art scene in Scotland.

On this website you can find out a bit more about me, browse through a selection of my figurative oil paintings, and read some of my thoughts about my work.



Figurative oil paintings

My paintings look at our relationship with the art of the past and its relevance for contemporary society.

My works combine elements from traditional paintings and sculptures with contemporary figures, man-made artifacts, and content from the natural world.  The result is a dreamlike synthesis that forms a commentary (sometimes ironic  or humorous) on our own time.


Living in the countryside has revived my interest in landscape painting- see the link for the new page above. Expect more soon!
