Mini Biography: I am a self taught artist and according to my parents, my obsession for drawing started at a very early age, I have actually found drawings I did as young as 4 (some of these early pictures I have put up) and have simply drawn ever since as a hobby, with horses being my main passion.
I do not restrict myself to one particular style as I enjoy experimenting. However being self taught I have not had the privilege of Art School and so I would never turn down the chance to study under a Master if the opportunity ever arose, but until such a time I shall continue to learn and develop as I go.
people really inspire me ....
A great friend and amazing producer of young competition horses Johanna Hedberg, Angley Stud, has been a huge influence on me from the way I look at horses as well as ride them. Johanna who is based in Kent, initially produced Amy Stovold's dressage horse 'MacBrian' and introduced the combination. Amy is on the World Class training programme with MacBrian and has her sights firmly set on 2012 Olympics.
Another person I have a lot to thank is Patrick Nisbett. Patrick, an International Show Jumper who rides for Bermuda, recently competed at the WEG with Cantaro 32. Patrick and his horses taught me a great deal about riding in a short space of time which in turn has helped me develop an even greater feeling of a horse truly working and being able to capture this within an image (I hope).
I believe having grown up in the beautiful Sussex and Kent countryside, being surrounded by animals and the inspiration from others has really contributed to my work. I feel this shows when it comes to drawing from life and equally from my imagination.
I really hope you enjoy looking at some of my work, and would love any feedback!
