I am an acrylic (mainly) paint artist, in the time I have been painting which is over 4 years now, with many more years to creating a truly unique art form heraldry coat of arms, this is now alongside creating iconic paintings of my other love Leeds United AFC.

Art has been in my blood, born in Oxford, then with my parents travelled to a number of countries. When my mother started painting she became relatively a known painter in Malta and Ireland both places we lived at the time. Then later in his life father became a sculptor. It wasn’t until as a rather annoying Bodhran (traditional Irish Drum) player, the drum skin split. So I reskinned the drum, when I thought I would paint both mine families coat of arms and my partner’s coats of arms on the drum skin. Upon completing it I had many people saying how good it was. Which as we all know friends and family always have your back.

I put it on the back burner, then I started to study heraldry art, which I found to be amazingly interesting.

My next piece was for one of my family. Then came my first commission for an ex naval commander, so this dual piece was where I proved to myself that I can actually create unique pieces of art.

I am 54 years old man with 3 children, as with life these times I now live with my 3rd child and my long suffering fiancée. I live in Yorkshire, I can say I am settled now after over 15 years of living and working abroad, I needed to get settled. I borne from Keighley where some of family still live. I do believe my extensive traveling I have absorbed cultures and have an unbiased view of life.

My way of working is based on this acronym KISS (keep it simple stupid) Consultation which can be done in which ever that you’re comfortable to do this. Drafting the proposed design, timelines, cost. During throughout this you will receive updates as it progresses.
