Born in St Helens Merseyside, at a very early age I was encouraged by my
mother and elder sister (both talented amateur artists) into sketching our
varied assortment of pets. Ponies arrived later courtesy of a local riding
school.
After leaving full time education I went to art college, departing after
just two weeks to the obvious delight of my tutor!
The next few years were spent as a groom at Barleythorpe stud, as well as
various hunting, showjumping and livery yards, using my charges as equine
models when time permitted.
Fast forwarding through family commitments and a few years spent in Hong
Kong where my paintings became re-invented upon the discovery of "George
Stubbs Anatomy of the horse". Back in the UK I took up painting full
time which paid for a sucession of horses, the last one a threequarter thoroughbred
is still with me at a grand age of almost 31 years.
My work can be seen at exhibitions, galleries and at National and International
horseshows; much of my work is commissioned by corporations and private
individuals.
“King's Rhapsody” is a painting gifted to Her Majesty the Queen Mother by myself.
This painting was later donated to the Moorcroft Race Horse Welfare Centre, ( the retirement home of Her Late Majesty's favourite horse) to be auctioned to raise funds for the centre. In October of that year it realised the sum of £3.000-00 See M.R.W.C Prints.
