-----------------------------

Originally from the North of England, I relocated to Texas, USA to be with my wife & fellow artist, Julie Asher. Together we paint from our shared creative space, Studio 714.

Art has been a lifelong pursuit for me. I’ve been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, and in 1995, I took the leap to begin selling my work professionally- something that I’ve been dedicated to ever since.

Birds are a constant and passionate theme in my work. From delicate passerines to powerful raptors, game birds to vibrant tropical species, avian subjects dominate my portfolio. Since moving to the USA, my exposure to new landscapes and bird species has only deepened this passion.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a range of media including acrylics, gouache, and pencil. In recent years, I’ve found my true voice in oil painting, which allows for a richness of color and texture that brings my subjects to life.

My work is known for its meticulous attention to detail. While my process is often labor-intensive, I strive to capture not just the physical likeness of my subjects, but also the light, atmosphere, and movement that give them life.
