I started painting with pastels in 1985, as a natural progression from drawing, which I had been doing for as long as I can remember. Two years later, I moved to the Cayman Islands, where I lived with my family for fourteen years. The colors of the Caribbean stimulated my artistic senses and invited me to capture the turquoise sea and bright pink bougainvillea on paper and canvas. The Cayman Islands art community welcomed me, private collectors and institutions purchased my works, and I participated in numerous visual arts exhibitions and group exhibitions, winning several awards. The Cayman Islands are a British dependent territory and my status within the artistic community gave me the opportunity and honor to meet members of the Royal Family.

I began using the I painted acrylic towards the end of my time in the Cayman Islands, and now that I live in England I paint almost exclusively with this technique. Acrylics combine the strength of color with technical simplicity, and with their durability, I know that when I ship originals across the world, they arrive in perfect condition.

One of the benefits of living in Europe is being able to travel to countries like Italy and France. I feel lucky to have been able to paint a few pastoral scenes from Tuscany and Provence in between my more typically tropical works for galleries in the Caribbean and collectors in the United States.

In 2013, I began to painting scenes of Kauai, to display and sell through the Palms Gallery. It was a great privilege for me to be selected to be the gallery's first international artist, and there can be no better inspiration for an artist than to have as their subject matter the most naturally beautiful landscapes on the planet, and a gallery in the middle of it all where his works can be displayed and appreciated. Today, my days begin with a blank canvas in front of me and images of stunning waterfalls, rugged mountains, pristine beaches and swaying palm trees, just waiting to be painted.
