I had a conventional upbringing in the south east of England, until I left school and travelled alone down Africa for a year. I returned, a little reluctantly, to study Classics at Oxford University, and went on to become a journalist, working for various national papers and magazines. During this period I also composed crosswords and won a BAFTA for copywriting a history of communication. Then one evening I passed an art school near to where I was working in London.

In the summer of 2017, I finished a large painting for Quail Hollow, where the USPGA was held. I am currently working on a painting of Augusta National during The Masters as well as a large oil of the West Side Tennis Club, at Forest Hills, New York where the US Open used to take place.
