Most recently doing a live painting at an evening with football legend ~ Pele ~ at the Centenary Pavilion, Elland Road Leeds.

His work has been a constant progression over the last 25 years, After selling his first painting at age 15 he knew then that it was possible to be a professional Artist. After leaving school with an A at GCSE he went on to study locally doing a general Art & Design course. Then to Carmarthenshire College of Technology & Art and graduated with a distinction in Fine Art/ illustration in 1995. Fresh out of college his work was published as a range of Greeting Cards for Royal Publications and Gluvian Galleries.
During this time Boxing was a huge part of his life, he mixed both passions together creating many of his heroes on canvas. His first success here was producing a large commission of Steve Robinson for ITV sponsors Empress Car Sales in 1995
As an amateur, he started late at 16 and had his first amateur contest at 18 in Newbridge in 1993, stopping his apponent in the 3rd round. A young man called Joe Calzaghe also boxed on the same bill!! His amateur record was 45 senior bouts winning 35, stopping more than 15 inside the distance of 3 to 5 rounds (5x2min rounds in Championships 1997). He seriously considered turning pro with the Calzaghe camp after winning the then ABF (Amateur Boxing Federation) title in 1997, but due to his hands hurting he felt it was the wrong move for his Art career, also disillusioned with the politics surrounding the sport and the amateur scene at that time he pursued his dream of becoming a professional Artist.
His next big success came with a commission in 2005 from James J. Houlihan the American Curator of the successful World Tour Exhibition ~ The Fighting Irishmen ~ The Exhibition travelled since its inception in New York in 2006, The South Seaport Museum, New York in 2007, Boston College 2008, Ulster American Folk Park Museum 2009, Dublin Croke Park Museum in 2010 Limerick, Ireland in April 2011 before finishing in Pheonix Arizona in 2013. The exhibit included 4 of his paintings. more can be seen here www.fightingirishmen.com
