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.

The people in my paintings are often painted with a sense of heroism. And, rather than being portraits of real people, they are in fact fictional characters. Their thoughts and feelings are whatever the viewer wishes.

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