About Me

Based in Leyland, Lancashire, I’m a pencil artist with a deep passion for capturing the character and soul of places. My work focuses on highly detailed drawings of buildings, landmarks, street scenes and landscapes — each one a tribute to the stories embedded in our surroundings.

I began my art journey in 2011, starting with historical scenes from my hometown of Bolton. What began as a personal exploration of local heritage has grown into a broader celebration of the rich architectural tapestry of the United Kingdom.I’m inspired by the layers of history that shape our towns and cities. I love portraying how places evolve — whether a bustling modern street, a quiet corner from decades past, or a cherished landmark that lives on only in memory. Many of my drawings bring back buildings and views that no longer exist, preserving them for the future.

Every piece begins with careful research and, wherever possible, drawing outdoors from real-life observation.I study architectural details, historical context and the atmosphere of each location before rendering it meticulously in graphite pencil on high-quality archival paper. My style is rooted in realism and nostalgia, aiming to evoke memory, meaning and emotional connection through every stroke.Whether creating an original drawing for sale or a custom commission, I pour the same care and precision into each work.
