My two favourite subjects combined.
I have lived in Cambridge for almost 35 years years but King's College still takes my breath away. The view from the Backs is simply beautiful whatever time of year. Here it is in the Springtime when the red poll cattle are brought in to graze the grass close to the stream.
The red poll are found in all sorts of places in Cambridge and loved by the locals. Here they are munching on the millefleur.
I paint detailed, dream-like images in oils on canvas which incorporate rich night skies and a shining moon. Stories inspired by the detail and pattern of medieval art, tapestries and my imagination. My work is very influenced by the wonderful city of Cambridge where I live.
Photographs can never do justice to my paintings as they change when the light catches the silver or copper leaf. If you would like to view my actual paintings please contact me to arrange a visit to my studio. My work can also be seen at Byard Art, 14 King's Parade, Cambridge CB2 1SJ, opposite King's College Chapel and at Lux Gallery, 13 Greenfield Cres, Birmingham B15 3AU.
I also take part in Cambridge Open Studios every July where you can visit me in my home studios and 'have a go' at gilding.
