Born in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire. He studied Fine Art at Newcastle University, where he began to paint landscape/seascape on the spot-a practice he still continues. He tries to keep the practical difficulties of working outdoors (caused by the weather particularly) out of mind as much as possible in order to have the chance to react to the colours, textures and light of the subject.
