Originally from Northern England, I relocated to Texas, USA, where I now share Studio 714 with my wife and fellow artist, Julie Asher.

Art has been a lifelong pursuit. I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, and in 1995 I took the leap into selling my work professionally—a commitment that has continued for more than three decades.

Birds have remained a constant and defining theme throughout my career. From delicate songbirds and game birds to powerful raptors and vibrant tropical species, avian subjects dominate my portfolio. Since moving to the United States, the diverse landscapes and extraordinary range of birdlife have provided an ever-expanding source of inspiration.

Over the years, I have worked in a variety of media, including acrylic, gouache, and pencil. In recent years, I have found my strongest artistic voice in oil painting. The depth, richness of color, and versatility of oils allow me to explore the subtle qualities of light, texture, atmosphere, and movement that bring each subject to life.

My work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a deep respect for the natural world. Although my process is often painstaking and labor-intensive, my goal extends beyond simply capturing a bird’s physical likeness. I strive to convey its character and presence—the light on its feathers, the atmosphere surrounding it, and the sense of movement and life that makes each subject unique.
