I have had  a successful career as a professional artist  spanning over 40 years, originally studying at Manchester Art college in the 70's. I  have worked as a Designer/Illustrator in the Medical, Educational and Commercial sectors. The technique that I specialise in is pointillism. Drawing thousands of dots in ink  allows the flexibility to create intricate surfaces and textures in a variety of subtle tones, which would normally only be possible by using pencil or paint. By varying tonal values I create a sculptured three dimensional presence to my subjects. This art is figurative and has been influenced by artists such as Escher, David Shepherd, Atkinson Grimshaw and I admire the pointillist work of Pissarro. In the way that photographic grain can reproduce any image or material, by varying the spacing of dots I can render surfaces and textures like a living camera. My inspiration comes from the detail and texture that I find inspiration in Industrial Scenes and Nature.
