My work is mainly about people, but also still-life and landscape, particularly the watery landscape of East Anglia. I work in oils, watercolour and print (linocut and etching), underpinned by drawing.
I studied at Chelsea and the Royal Academy Schools (RA Gold Medal), and live in Norfolk.
Public collections which hold my work include the National Portrait Gallery, the V&A, Norwich Castle Museum. Public commissions include a portrait of Sir Richard and Sir David Attenborough for the National Portrait Gallery (recently on show in the C20th Display) and a Jerwood Commission for the Royal College of Pediatrics, and paintings for several hospitals around the UK.
I exhibit my work regularly in solo, group and open exhibitions. These have included the RA Summer Show and the Discerning Eye. Solo shows include A Year on the Marsh, Norwich Castle Museum 2004; Recent Work, Mercer Chance London 2016; Watery Places, Church Street Gallery, Saffron Walden 2017.
In 2021 I was an invited artist for the exhibition Past Times New Horizons to celebrate 70 years of the Kings Lynn Festival.
