As a child I was always drawing, possibly the result of being educated within the confines of the rigid and non-communicative structure of a strick convent, I communicated, but not in words!

At 16 I went to Salisbury College of Art to do 3 year graphic course, resuluting in the SRD (Southern Regional Diploma). At age 19 I went to London and worked in an advertising agency for one year and from there went to Toronto,Canada where I worked as a freelance designer/illustrator,
After returning to London and working as a designer illustrator for two years I went Sydney, Australia for a year where I worked for Hamlyns as a book designer and then I produced a series of posters which I sold throughout Australia as we travelled around the country. This provided sufficient funds on our return to UK to buy a house in London and continue working in design agencies.

In 1984 then moved out of London to live on the Wey canal where I bought a house boat but continued to work as a freelance designer and illustator.In 1987 I sold the boat and travelled around Asia for three months, starting up an import business from Bali (Indonesia) of artefacts which I worked at in conjunction with design work until 1990 when I rented out the London flat I had spent eight months renovating and went to live in Hong Kong for one year where I worked as senior designer in an advertising agency.

After the year I returned to the U.K. and decided to bring my cartoonist skills to the fore.
This was very successful and the first time I felt 'in my own skin' with regard to my profession. After several years developing this area I decided to investigate caricaturing and went to Monmartre in Paris to see the work of the French caricaturists.

I returned to the U.K - basing myself in East Grinstead, Sussex - and contacted a local hotel who booked me for three events on a trail basis which went so well I was officially booked for the Toyota Christmas party that year.

I now work professionally as a Caricaturist for numerous corporate events/weddings/private parties and have caricatured celebrities such as Damon Hill/Lorrraine Chase/ Tommy Doherty/Gordan Ramsey and corporates such as Marconi(Milan), BMW/ Mercedes-Benz/ John Lewis/ Credit Suisse/ Volkeswagon/yell./M&S.
