ABOUT ME

I am a British artist painting classically inspired equestrian subjects. My work draws on Stubbs and the classical English horse painting tradition, but I also hope to give it a modern edge.

​

I came to horses late in life. I love the complex anatomy, and the deep colours and shine of their coats. I try to capture the combination of physical power and gentle submissiveness that horses show. I also love their individual characters and intelligence.

​

I work in oils and I try, as far as possible, to use materials and techniques that the old masters would have used.

​

I do portraits, commissions and sales. I also travel a lot, so I may be coming to a city near you soon. Please send me a message on the contacts page if you would like more information about my work or would like to discuss commissions.

​

Many thanks.
