“My interest in painting and creating began in my teenage years. In those days, I used water colours and pastels to illustrate my love of the British countryside. My life’s work as a shepherd and farmer took priority for the following decades, and only recently have I been able to devote more time and effort in pursuit of my art practice. It has now become an important part of my daily life.”

“My subjects and inspirations are taken from my lifetime in the countryside: the country characters and prairie sunsets, the changing colours of our varied seasons and the memories of another time.”

“I have now added acrylics and large canvasses to my painting adventure.”
