Born in Middlesbrough in 1971 I studied art in the Cleveland college of Art and Design going on to the University of Ulster where I specialised in Ceramics graduating in 1993 with a degree in Fine craft design. In 2004 attended Limavady college of further and higher education where I studied Stone masonry. It was here where I developed my skill and love of stone sculpture. I continue to paint and draw choosing oils, water colour and pencil to suit the subject matter having started my own practice as a freelance artist I have had many privately commissioned works In October 2006 employed by Limavady college of further and higher education to teach Art Sculpture and Ceramics on a part time basis

| About the Artist |
Currently working on a body of work called Big Sky based on cloud formations. Taking their natural abstract structure and their abilty to provoke imagination through there construction of light and density. Looking up in the sky how many times have you made out the form of something familiar from a cloud. The sky its self holds emotion through clouds powerful thunderous clouds to bring a menace counter balanced through that of a single cloud in a deep blue sky taking on the form of an animal in the eyes of a child.
His painting and drawing are a mixture of styles and subject matter continuously changing styles that marry with the subject he is working on at the time. Some of his work can be seen on an international arts site
