A brief biography:-

I was born in Preston, UK, in 1960 and have been working as an artist / illustrator for 30 years. My main field of work is for the publishing industries - book jackets, illustration logos etc. I studied on the advanced training scheme of the society of Scribes and Illuminators from which I graduated in 2002. Calligraphy has become my chosen mode of personal expression as well as supplementing my design work. Clients include Continuum International, Findhorn Press, Henry Moore Institute, University of Ottawa Press and the Royal Lancashire Regiment.

I am dividing my time at the moment between living and working in the UK and Thailand.
