- By Appointment Only -
Primarily I host inspiring and practical workshop visits to High-School students. I go beyond the aspects of ‘drawing principles’, as primarily I am there to inspire and engage with the students. It’s not about “what are we drawing today?”, it’s about “who are we becoming tomorrow?’’. I truly want to encourage the students to become passionate and productive about their desired futures. It’s important for students to think creatively about their futures and HOW they can make that a reality.
Key services I offer:
Visits available for all key stages up to University level.
Inspirational talks and engaging assemblies.
Practical drawing workshops.
'Entrepreneurship and practical skills on how to run a small business'. - Talks & Workshops.

Can I personalise my order ?
Yes, if you are ordering an unframed print I can include a hand-written greeting card. Simply drop me an email with your specific order number: ie: ORDER 00141.
What type of print do you offer:
The type of print I offer is a GICLEE Print ; fine art digital prints made on inkjet printers, professionally made by experts and mounted up to the highest of standards. Giclee printing is far superior to all other forms of printing because it most closely matches the original paintings.
- All of my prints are taken from large hand-painted original paintings
What size are the prints ?
The print sizes shown refers to the overall perimeter of the mount dimensions, as all of my prints come mounted. The prints are all formatted as either square or rectangular shapes of the same dimensions meaning if you wanted to add to your collection, the shapes and formats of the prints are all consistent to each other and allow for you to hang your artworks in a neat uniformed manner.
What is the specific image size of the prints?
Once the width of the mount is accounted for, the image sizes of the prints is as follows, I use one of my standard square size prints as the example:
IMAGE SIZE ITSELF: 37.5 X 37.5 cm
OVERALL MOUNTED SIZE : 50 X 50 cm
How wide is the mount width?
On the standard size prints the mount is usually 5cm in width.
On the large size prints the mount is 6.5cm in width.
Is the quality of the image lessoned on the larger size prints ?
No, not at all. The image quality and details is never compromised, in fact the larger prints mean you can see more of the very fine details that feature in the original paintings down to the grain of the canvas and brush strokes.
What are your edition sizes of your limited edition prints ?
This depends on the specific title. This information is shown on the SPECIFICATIONS area of each print in the online shop. But all prints are either editions 50, 95 or 195.
Each print is available in two sizes, for example, the print titled ‘London sunset’ is from an edition of 50, meaning there are 50 prints STANDARD size, and 50 large size available.
Can I order unmounted prints from you ?
Yes you can. To do so, please email me with your request and your delivery address. You will then receive an email confirmation of your bespoke order. ALL of the prints produced will be individually numbered, titled & signed
Can I order custom sized over-sized prints from you ?
Yes you can, To do so, please email me directly with your request and your delivery address. You will then receive an email confirmation of your bespoke order. ALL of the prints produced will be individually numbered, titled & signed
I no longer offer a framing service, however I can suggest the suitable frame style:
Usually for a minimal and contemporary style, I would suggest a plain white or plain black frame to allow the focus to remain with the vibrant colours within the artwork.
Where can I see artworks in person?
I am showing more artworks online now as the largest spectrum of my portfolio is shown on the ONLINE GALLERY. Click STOCKISTS to find out which art galleries show my artworks.
- If it is original paintings that you specifically want to see, you can book an appointment to visit my gallery location in Norwich. To do so, drop me an email.
How do you create your original paintings?
I take photographs when I a, out in nature and make a series of sketches in my sketch books, I then create the paintings once I am in the studio. Everything is hand-painted and hand crafted with the original paintings.
Do your originals require additional framing?
No, all of the originals are neatly finished on deep edge canvas so they are ready to hang in a minimal contemporary fashion. However it is also possible for you to add a wooden surround to the artworks by approaching your local framer to discuss your options. I would suggest a simple black or white ‘tray frame’ to suit the artwork in a slick and contemporary style.
Where is the artist’s signature?
Neatly down the right hand side of the canvas profile, this is because I don’t want my signature to detract from the artwork itself.
Do you operate your business in a sustainable way?
Everything I produce and source is within the UK, and wherever possible I support local Norfolk businesses as all of my prints are produced by a local Norfolk family run professional team.
