From website:

I currently live in Cardiff in the UK. I have always harboured an interest in fantasy and mythology as long as I can remember. of which I love to express my enthusiasm through illustration and design.

I have always been interested in art and used to only work in acrylics and oils until 2005 when I was inspired by the works of Todd Lockwood. which got me looking into the world of digital art.

In early 2006 after playing with basic digital works, I joined up with DeviantArt’s worldwide online galleries. Through this I discovered the awesome Anne Stokes’ digital fantasy art. Her work and kind, honest advice got me thinking more seriously about becoming a professional Freelance Artist. I then acquired my first graphics tablet in late 2006 and have painted mainly digitally since then. My first professional commissioned work came for the T-shirt company Spiral, through which I have come to understand the needs of my clients and have increased my knowledge of digital art. I have been a fulltime Freelance artist since the start of 2008.

Such things as dragons, vampires and the supernatural have always held a deeper place in my heart. It's the scope they give in creation that I love. They inspire age old stories which can be expressed through a painting. I love the detail and different shapes to which you can give dragons and the gothic atmosphere that the supernatural allow for.
