I was born in Hull, U.K., in 1985, and since being young I have loved to draw. My favourite subject was my boxer dog, Jess, and from her I went on to draw other animals, which lead me to taking commissions to draw other people's pets as well.

I have no formal art training past A-level, but my father is an artist and there were always a lot of art books around the house to inspire me.

I now live in rural Lincolnshire with my partner and our dog Polly. When I'm not busy with commissions I like to work on personal artwork, as well as spending time playing my guitar and violin. I also enjoy photography, especially taking pictures of the local birds and wildlife.
