Bottlenoes Dolphin Painting

With all my work I aim to capture the spirit of the subject and at the same time harness the movement and light. From a young boy I have always painted images that fascinated me, concentrating on the native wildlife around me. After leaving school I served an apprenticeship at P & A Woods, restoring the coachwork on Rolls Royce motorcars, some of which belonged to the Royal family. The skills I learnt during my apprenticeship were later channelled into my sculpting. I left the Rolls Royce garage to pursue my art career full time and when I started scuba diving the wealth of marine wildlife and underwater scenes captured my imagination and I started exhibiting my marine works in 1999 and I haven't looked back since.
