I have had over 20 exhibitions in city galleries across the Northwest. My work has also featured in major exhibitions in the UK and USA.
My paintings are in many private collections in Germany, Canada, Australia, Spain, Hong Kong, UK and USA.
My work covers a wide spectrum of styles and themes.

I have painted cityscapes for over 30 years with Manchester and Salford being my main inspiration. I started by painting individuals but now tend to paint a wider view of the scene. In these compositions I capture indiscriminate figures by painting them loosely so that they appear to merge into the scene. I often highlight them with fleeting glimpses of colour, to give the impression of a fast paced lifestyle. Concentrating on the busy shopping centres depicts the hustle and bustle of modern life.
