When I was about 10 years old, the Teacher asked us all to do a drawing of a Dinosaur. I noticed that, while my effort was quite good, all the other children were struggling badly. This was the moment when it occurred to me that I might actually have some kind of ability for Art!
After leaving school in 1986, I enrolled at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design (Shelley Park) where I did a two year course in General Art and Design. We had lessons in Art History, Colour Study, Life Drawing, Printing, 3D Design, Photography etc. but my main focus was on Drawing & Illustration at that time.
I didn't feel the need to go to university to study for a BA so, after leaving college, life eventually took me off in a different direction and Art became just an occasional pastime.
Fast forward to 2022 and I found myself between jobs with some time on my hands. Inspired by the TV program Portrait Artist of the Year, I decided to have a go at painting my Wife's Portrait in Oil Paints. It turned out quite well so I shared it on Social Media and got a very enthusiastic response!
Since then I have enjoyed developing my skill as an Artist and producing, and selling, various Paintings, including Commissions for Portraits and Pet Portraits. It's been a real joy to rediscover my original dream of being an Artist and I look forward to progressing further in the future.

“Graham's painting of my Dad, for the occasion of his 100th Birthday, captured not only his image, but everything that my Dad was in life (sadly he passed away in 2024).
We were amazed by the quality of Graham's work. He's created a lasting and much treasured painting which will continue to be enjoyed by the family"
Stuart Colquhoun, Strathaven
"Graham's skillset is quite remarkable. His communication skills are equally as good and I would recommend his services wholeheartedly. Thanks to Graham I was able to give my wife a one-of-a-kind gift which will be very difficult to ever match or equal!"
