I enjoy working in the visual arts as an Artist, Designer, Illustrator, Medical Artist, Art Demonstrator and Writer.

 I love writing, so it is a great thrill to be a Regular Contributor (Artist/Writer) to Leisure Painter Magazine and an Art Demonstrator for The Artist and Leisure Painter Magazines. 

 In 2011, I was honoured to be Artist in Residence at BBC Radio Lancashire and enjoyed working on a variety of projects to help bring art to all.  I started teaching animal art workshops in the 2026 Gallery at Radio Lancashire in Blackburn. At the same time I was thrilled to be invited to put on a solo art exhibition in the Gallery.  I was then invited by BBC Radio Lancashire to run a series of portrait art workshops….and our model was ‘Gilly’ (Radio Presenter John Gillmore.)  In October I was very honoured to be invited to teach a BBC Art Masterclass with a wonderful model Nisha. 

You can follow the progress of my oil painting of Nisha on:

I was very honoured to be invited to exhibit my artwork at the Animal Art Fair in 2011.  Here is the video which includes a short interview with me!

I am also having a lot of fun exhibiting artwork and being involved with the Association of Animal Artists!  I am a Chairman, Trustee and a Founder Member of AAA and we have a dynamic and lively group of Trustees and Members!  You can follow AAA on Facebook:

Thank you to Art Discount for helping me sort out my art supplies for the recent ’Faces of Gilly’ Art Workshops I ran as ’Artist in Residence’ at BBC Radio Lancashire.
