James Herriot Artwork

About the Prints: I was commissioned by "The World of James Herriot" to produce some prints for the opening of the Museum in 1999. I have lived in Thirsk for 30 years and for the past 25 years worked in and around Kirkgate, almost opposite Skeldale House.  The "Vetscapes" series of prints are designed to illustrate localities which feature prominently in the life of James Herriot. The first produced was "The Red Door" an open edition print followed by four limited edition prints. These are all signed - if you wish a particular inscription you only have to ask.

About the Museum: The museum is located at Skeldale house, 23 Kirkgate in Thirsk, North Yorkshire. This was the real Veterinary Practice of Alf Wight, now internationally known as James  Herriot the name he used to recount his escapades as a vet. Since the mid 1970's the exploits and adventures of those who worked and visited here have become widely known through these writings. These reminiscences have been further publicised by films and the television series "All Creatures Great & Small". Click this link to browse my collection.

House Portraits / Buildings

Buildings: When planning, building, or marketing proposed dwellings, or substantial redevelopment of buildings, the value of a picture to help clients visualise the completed development is a tremendous advantage. Drawings can be produced when photographs are impractical at an early stage in the project. It has been found that illustrations can assist and confirm buying decisions early in the programme.

House Portraits: I have been commissioned to paint a great variety of homes  these can be produced after discussion with you to find the favourite view in the right season. You may select mount and frames to suit the decor of your home. The same artwork may be used as a basis for letterheads, business cards,  and special invitations.
