I am a visual artist based in Manchester. I am mainly interested in the urban environment, in particular the North of England, though I don't limit myself solely to this subject. I paint my experience honestly and unpretentiously, sometimes taking a romantic view of city life and at others portraying the melancholy and isolation of the city, or documenting the ever changing skyline.

Primarily I work in the media of paint, charcoal and pastels
