About

Based in North Wales, UK. 

Mostly self-taught, I received my first set of paints when I was 13 and have been painting ever since. Dragons, heroes and mythical lands are my mainstays. I believe the purpose of art is to guide you to a better life. 

A recurring interest is the idea of transformation- the hero myth in particular: the journey from ordinary man to hero, and the trials and tribulations (and dragons) he encounters on his quest.

I often try to give the people I paint a sense of heroism. I see them more as characters than portraits of individuals; their thoughts and feelings are whatever the viewer needs.

My landscapes are formed from memories of real places in Wales, combined with those imagined, to form new realms that exist only in the painting itself. To me, these are places for my fictional characters to roam and for the viewers mind to wander into.
