I graduated from Falmouth College of Arts in 2006 with a degree in Illustration. My paintings are mostly done in oils on board or canvas and my work is heavily inspired by 18th and 19th century history and the painters of those eras. I tend to work in numerable thin layers, building up paint around certain focal points. I have produced artwork for various publications, including the Financial Times, Country Life and Time Out magazine and have illustrated books for WQS, Faber and Folio Society among others.
