Thanks for landing on my website. Spend a while looking around and by all means get in touch with any thoughts or observations. My quest is to build a body of paintings depicting every corner of Yorkshire: landscape, towns, the coast and industry.A photo takes a split second. Paintings take time: I’m currently spending around 40 hours on each one! It’s time well spent and each painting is infused with enthusiasm for the setting and particularly the people I find.So far, West Yorkshire and the East Coast are dominating but I aim to spread my coverage. See the map below for upcoming prospects 👇🏻.Only a few framed prints of each painting will be for sale. This gives you exclusivity and keeps things manageable for me (see Backstory). It would be fab if you could support the project by investing in an existing or upcoming painting (see Contact).

Each print is a unique numbered and signed original.
Unlike traditional paintings, where only one original exists, I decide how many of each artwork to produce (just a few) —ensuring exclusivity and rarity.High Quality PrintingQuality matters. That’s why I’ve partnered with Picadore of Scarborough, experts in fine art printing.
My prints are produced on sturdy cotton rag art paper using an 11-cartridge printer for stunning colour and clarity.
Unlike cheaper prints, these museum-quality giclée prints won’t fade or degrade over time.Let’s start a ConversationMany of my paintings have fascinating stories, and I love sharing them.

MFM launch April 1989 in Chester. I’m first from the right.

From Broadcasting to Brushstrokes: My Journey into ArtArt has given me a new sense of purpose after a long career in broadcasting and journalism. My journey has taken me from radio studios to the streets of Yorkshire and now to the canvas, where I capture the landscapes and stories that inspire me.

Detail from ‘Westgate, Wakefield’ 2023

A Life in Sound and StoriesI started in radio, playing pop music on stations like ABC Radio in Waterford and Rock FM in Lancashire. The world of jingles, snappy one-liners, and perfectly timed intros was my life—until I realized I was living inside my headphones, disconnected from the world outside. So, I made a change.I retrained as a journalist and took to the roads of West Yorkshire, reporting for BBC Radio Leeds. I was never drawn to hard news but found myself captivated by local quirks, personalities, and the hidden stories that gave places their character.

Turning PointJournalism is relentless, and after years of chasing stories—mainly depressing ones during the pandemic—I reached breaking point.In 2022, severe burnout forced me to stop. My body shut down, and my relationship with work changed completely……then, one evening in Dewsbury, I saw a sunset that reminded me of this Vermeer painting 👇🏻.

‘View of Delft’ by Johannes Vermeer c. 1660 (Mauritius, The Hague)

My first painting: ‘Dewsbury’ 2023.

All you need is an ideaThe urge to capture that moment sparked something new. Determined to learn, I found guidance at The Art Room in Denby Dale, where I discovered that, with the right approach, anyone can draw and paint. I took the best part of my old job—observing the world around me—and turned it into a new creative journey.My Artistic ProcessI work digitally, painting with an Apple Pencil on an iPad Pro. While digital tools offer flexibility, my process is still hands-on, with thousands of brushstrokes bringing each scene to life. To maintain quality and exclusivity, I print each artwork in very limited runs, using high-grade cotton rag art paper and giclée printing techniques.Exhibitions & RecognitionThe response to my work has been humbling. My first sale sent me sky-high, and more have followed. A highlight was having my work selected for the Ferens Open, a prestigious exhibition in Hull’s city centre.

Sales & Collecting My WorkEach painting is one of a kind—I release only a handful of prints for each piece. I personally oversee printing, cutting the mounts, and framing every work to ensure it meets my standards.Beyond the Screen: Finding the Right AudienceSocial media is fast-paced, but my art is meant to be appreciated slowly. I work slowly too as my mental health condition requires I ease back from time to time. This is a little eccentric but art appreciators don’t mind! Facebook has been useful to spread the word and connect but Instagram is a bit FM for me, living on AM (Magic 828 reference there - a great local station gone like so many others).
All told nothing compares to seeing my work framed and displayed in homes and galleries across Yorkshire 👉🏻 View my GalleryA Final Note on Mental HealthIf my story resonates, know that you’re not alone. I’ve had professional help, and it makes all a difference. Finding something that reignites your passion—whether it’s painting, writing, or something else—can be life-changing.Thanks for reading, and a big thank you to my wife and family, without whom none of this would be possible.March 2025I hope to add to my story from time to time - check back in ‘Latest’ for updates. Thx, D

Artwork of the YearI am part of a great outfit called ‘The Art Room’ led by art teacher Sean Barry in Denby Dale and we held an exhibition at Skelmanthorpe Library.
My painting ‘Scarborough’ won Artwork of the Year (see gallery).
Out of the hundreds of votes from visitors in person and online, this was the individual work which was most popular.
I love my ‘Scenes of Yorkshire’ art theme but the idea others like it too gives me great encouragement.

First thing I’ve ever won!

Ferens OpenThe Ferens Gallery in Hull is fantastic city centre venue which has hosted an open art exhibition for emerging artists for many years.
I was over the moon to be accepted in 2024 for my work ‘North Road, Hull’.
My painting was on display all through the summer.

Urban lifeI love the urban environment of our Yorkshire towns so I was delighted to be accepted to this local exhibition in Skelmanthorpe.

Artwalk WakefieldVarious venues across Wakefield hand over space to local artists on a special one night event.
In January 2025 I had my first go at this with five art works on display at The Priory.
It was great to meet and chat to art fans and wonderful to hear appreciative comments about my work.

March 9 25……LoftusI’ve decided to include the historic county of Yorkshire in my plans.
In fact I’ve started work on a painting of Loftus near Saltburn. It features a Ford Mustang.
At some point I’d like to feature Earby where half the town think they’re Yorkshire and the other half Lancashire!
