Quick Bio:

After getting one of my early pictures into an ‘Art for change’ Pop Up Gallery Show in the Silver Arcade in Leicester in 2010 I was invited to take part in the original 'Windows On' courtyard exhibition in the city centre. Since then I've been lucky enough to exhibit my original artwork in regional galleries including Sock in Loughborough and the New Walk Gallery in Leicester. I've also taken part in the Loogabarooga Children's illustration festival a couple of times with my good friend and writing partner Gary Place. 

In 2010 I became Artist in Residence for the wonderful Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young Adults and continued there until 2017. In that time I created 14 picture book style paintings for their walls, including three large panels measuring 6 foot across. 

In 2020 I was delighted to have my design proposal accepted for the Fosse Foxes Art Trail [Fosse Park Leicester] and I got to paint a 1.4 Metre long Fox sculpture with my playful colourful style of work. I also had my design for a commemorative bench, manufactured and installed in the beautiful village of Barrow upon Soar near Loughborough in October 2021. 

In 2023 I was involved in a couple of local community projects. Firstly the redesign of a pre-loved Zig Zag Donation box to support the local Library and then the creation of artwork for platform 2 of Barrow upon Soar Train Station [Oct 2023] with the help of the Barrow Scout group who created beautiful flowers to add to the vibrant colour scheme. Hopefully more to come. 

In recent years, these projects have run alongside quirky 3D Portraits, greeting cards and my ‘Rolling Hills and Wonky Houses’ original artwork series. You can buy original art and greeting cards from Taylor’s Florists in Barrow upon Soar as well as direct via the website.
