Well, I started painting very young at 7 years old, I was the youngest ever artist to exhibit and sell in the Great Sheffield Art Show. I am currently a member of both The Royle Art Group & The Heeley Art Club. I have particulary grown fond of painting portraits recently and am concentrating to get that side of my repertoire to the best it can be. Commissions considered. Please do not use my artwork without consulting me first. Thankyou.
