I am a British Artist, who creates iPad artworks using the Brushes app. I trained at the Chelsea University of Art in London. After graduating, I worked as a Visualiser in a leading London Advertising Agency. Subsequently, I did freelance design work. I took up the iPad about eight years ago with enthusiasm, and have never looked back.

I like to work, as much as possible, “En Plein Air”, because being immersed in nature makes me see all its many complexities. I try to adapt as quickly as possible to changing light, reflections, shadows, and atmosphere. All these things can be achieved so quickly on the iPad . It can be quite a challenge, but when it all comes together successfully, it is so rewarding.
