Welcome to The Frame Shop and Gallery

"Born in 1969 I was encouraged at a young age to start drawing and painting by reading comics and books. I had an instinctive feeling that this would become part of my life. During my school years the only lesson I looked forward to was art. Upon leaving school I enrolled at my local college to further my academic studies including A’ Level art and design. In 1989 I decided to study an arts foundation course. This helped me to decide which artistic profession to follow, as the type of studies focused on all disciplines of art. As well as having a love of painting I had a firm interest in design, especially typography and calligraphy. In 1990 I enrolled to study graphic design and luckily for me photography and illustration were part of the college programme so I could incorporate my skills within the course."
