In 2003 I was chosen as the winner of the Astley Hall Artist Competition.

The prize was to represent Chorley as the Councils representative, spending 10 days in an artists camp in the twin town Szekesfehervar in Hungary.

The time was spent with professors, lecturers, artists from all over Europe including Poland, Italy and the Ukraine. My best piece of work was donated to Szekesfehervar Town Hall to be part of the citys collection.

Prints of the award winning painting "The Beautiful Game" can be purchased for just £30 by contacting me.
