Born in Somerset in 1973, he grew up in Shropshire. In 1994 he was awarded an HND in Communication Art and Design at the Carmarthenshire College of Technology and Art. He later gained his MA in this subject at the Royal College of Art, graduating in 2003. He was resident artist at the Nature in Art Museum, Gloucestershire - 2004, 2006, 2012, running workshops and was supporting artist for Criw Celf, Oriel Myrddin, Carmarthenshire - 2012 - 2014. Much of his work is completed outdoors, from direct observation, often focussing on nature and the more remote areas of Wales. Weather and season play an important role in the choice of subject and location, and the work aims to reflect something of the variations of these effects on the land.
