I acquired my studio, in central Ilkley, in May 2001. This has made such a difference to my life - to be able to work in oils in a space which seems just designed for the purpose!

In fact, this row of stone buildings was built as a stable block - I work on the first floor, where the hay would have been stored, and have the luxury of a full length opening door.
This is marvellous in hot weather and for loading and unloading larger works.

Unfortunately, plans were recently passed to develop two of the workshops into houses - this is a tragedy for this 'artisan' area of Ilkley and it looks likely that the area will never be the same again.

NEWS: Last year I completed a new series of silk screen prints of Ilkley - six subjects in total. This has meant approximately 7 colours on each of 700 sheets of paper .... all in two and a half months! These were 'launched' at Lotherton Hall in June 2007 and the first number of each edition was on sale there, framed in oak. I'm pleased to say that two of the "No. 1"s were sold, followed by two more recently. If you would like the 'cachet' of owning a 'No. 1' get in touch with me soon for White Wells or The Old Bridge!!!
