I am a professional landscape painter and writer from the North of England specializing in watercolour but also painting in oils and acrylic. I was trained at art college in the 1980s but my landscape work is totally self induced. I am passionate about painting and helping others reach high standards in their work. I was elected as a companion of the International Guild of Artists in 1996 and as an Associate of the British Watercolour Society in 1998. I was made a Professional Associate of the Society for All Artists in 1997 and in 2002 was elected as President of the Halifax Art Society. In 2003 I was made an advisory panellist of the SAA. I also sit on the advisory panel for Artists and Illustrators magazine. I have appeared on British National Television in 1998 both as a regional winner and a national finalist on Channel Four's Watercolour Challenge programme.
I am a regular contributor and writer for Artists and Illustrators Magazine, The Artist magazine, Paint (SAA) and numerous other UK publications. I have also produced four teaching art DVDs on the subject of watercolour painting which are regularly shown on the painting and drawing channel on Sky TV. I have written four books on the subject of watercolour painting - ‘Watercolour for starters’ was published by David and Charles (2004), ‘30 Minute Landscapes’ published by Walter Foster (2008), USA, ‘30 Minute Landscapes in Watercolour’ published by Harper Collins (2009) and ‘Landscapes in Watercolour’ published by Crowood Press (2009). Some of my work is also published in ‘Watercolour layer-by-layer’ (Walter Foster, USA). I have been teaching and lecturing on the subject of watercolour painting for the last twelve years. My demonstrations and workshops are always extremely popular and are represented by the Society of All Artists and St Cuthberts Mill.
