About the Artist

I was born in 1969, Stoke On Trent, England, clutching a pencil in my chubby little hand and from that day onwards I have spent many a happy hour drawing. 

During my early teens I became fascinated with the human face and decided that I would become a portrait artist when I left school but, like many before me, real life intervened and there came the need to get a real job.

I secured a position at 'Royal Worcester Spode' a world renowned pottery manufacturers and over the next 23 years I received several promotions and forged a career as the Production Manager/Prestige Manager  for the company, managing, at it's peak, eight departments and a workforce of over a hundred people.

It was during this time that my relationship with caricature art began and the noticeboards at work became  galleries for my cartoons and caricatures of  friends and colleagues. Everyone loved them, people wanted to see more and more of them.For me caricature couples my love of portraits with my love for humour and it was this that finally prompted me to look at Caricature Art as something that I wanted to pursue as a career

Caricature Artists such as Jan Op De Beeck, Sebastian Krueger and Jason Seiler, to name but a few, show the ability and level that can be achieved this gives me the incentive to push myself harder. Constantly seeking to learn and develop new skills from the wealth of artists and information available. Something that I will continue to do as long as I have the capacity to draw.
