Welcome to my blog! I’m a classically trained Worcester Artist with over 30 years of experience creating unique, timeless pieces. My passion lies in capturing the beauty of Worcestershire through both original art and custom art commissions, including cherished pet portraits. Based in Worcester, United Kingdom, I invite you to learn more about my work and join me for this year’s Worcestershire Open Studios, an event that celebrates creativity across the region.
A Tradition of Excellence in Art
For over three decades, I have honed traditional painting techniques, specializing in oil and acrylic painting. My work reflects my love for Worcestershire, from the vibrant seasonal flowers I arrange into still life paintings, to the rolling beauty of the Malvern Hills, which I often depict in original landscape art.
Each of my original paintings tells a story. Many feature antique vases or objects that hold a personal connection to my family’s history. These heirlooms are woven into my art, creating timeless pieces that resonate with elegance and nostalgia.
Creating Memories Through Art
A significant part of my work involves connecting with clients to create meaningful art commissions. One of the most rewarding aspects of my career is being trusted to create custom pet portraits, immortalizing beloved companions in a way that captures their unique spirit and personality.
Other commissions include special places, around Worcestershire and beyond. I take great pride in helping my clients bring a touch of Worcestershire’s natural beauty—or a heartfelt memory—into their homes.
Join Me for Worcestershire Open Studios 2025
I’m thrilled to announce that Worcestershire Open Studios is back for its 10th year, running from August 16th to 25th, 2025. During this time, together with a number of local creatives, I’ll be opening the doors of my garden and home to the public, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how I create my art.
This is a wonderful opportunity to explore the vibrant artistic community in our region, carrying on in the famous tradition of Royal Worcester, and discover the stories behind each original painting. You’ll also have the chance to see some of my favourite Malvern Hills original art and still life paintings, and all the inspiration behind them.
Whether you’re an art enthusiast or simply curious to learn more about my creative process, I’d love to welcome you to my studio.
