The majority of Neil’s work is completed using acrylic on canvas or board, a medium which suits his style. Recent work includes more of the Borders where he is spending ever increasing amounts of time.

The mix of vast open space and dramatic coast appeals.

Following graduation from Nottingham Trent University in 1993 - BA (Hons) Interior Design - Neil began work as an interior designer in Milton Keynes. Following company relocation to Liverpool, he settled in Newton Le Willows in 1996, from where he made frequent visits to the Lake District. This is the point at which his passion for landscape painting really began. Capturing dramatic Lakeland fells coupled with a fascination for the ever changing water of the lakes still draws him back.

Neil returned to live in his native North-East in 2001 and began to paint with even greater passion, primarily because Northumberland was once again on his doorstep. The magical mix of high wild moors, expansive beaches, craggy shorelines, (and some of the most atmospheric castles in England) continually inspires.
