I have had a passion for Motorsport for as long as I can remember, my earliest recollections go back to when I was a small boy growing up in and around the sight and smell of Racing Cars, I would often smuggle my way into the Crystal Palace Race Circuit to listen to the sound of Racing Cars warming up their engines early on a Sunday, the glorious days before the noise abatement people objected, I would get there early in the Morning hoping to catch a glimpse of the likes of the young Ayrton Senna one of the young hopefuls of the day, little did I know what an effect this was going to have on me in later life, even when I left home got married and eventually moved to Kent, purely by chance I found myself living 20 minutes from a Racing Circuit the historic Brands Hatch, so I suppose it was only a matter of time that I was to return to my passion, my first return to Motor Racing funny enough was by chance I was chatting to a colleague at work who was a Motorbike Marshall at the weekends, he invited me along to a meeting at Lyddon Race Circuit in Kent, and I was hooked, I did a whole season, I travelled the whole of Britain, with my trustee Camera, that’s where I really started, to take my passion to another level, I found myself getting more and more commissions from both the Riders, their Wife’s and Girlfriends, it was around this time that I found myself going to Bigger Race meetings, I would take myself off to Brands Hatch for a British Superbike Meeting, or I would go to the British Grand Prix, I attended most of the Car, and Bike shows, collating photographic material, for future commissioned artworks, I found myself looking for more and more ambitious projects to commission, which is probably why my artworks are so carefully planned, prepared and finished to such a high standard, I like to capture the sense of action speed and excitement, along with a fantastic eye for detail.
The recent demand for commissioned artworks, from corporate, commercial and private clients has increased to a level that I now work full time as a Freelance Illustrator.
I have work published with Felix Rosenstiels Widow and Son, in the Markham Collection, I have a full portfolio of work from the Clubman Motorcycle riders, plus commissions from single seater racing car drivers, my portfolio contains Formula 1, Superbikes, Touring Cars, GT’S, Supercars, Classic and Convertibles.
I am a Full member of the Guild of Motoring Artists, I am also a full member of the Coloured Pencil Society.
Working from photographs I can produce quality fine art Illustrations of Portraits/Vehicles through to full Race Action including all Circuit and crowd scenes.
