Griff has been studying and watching Wildlife ever since he can remember and when he was bought his first set of Acrylic paints at the age of 14 years it was only natural to paint his favourite subject.

Although exhibiting at the age of 15 years and receiving praise and encouragement from Sir Peter Scott, he decided on a career in the holiday trade which gave him the opportunity to live in some wonderful locations around the UK’s coast. In the winter he would travel throughout the world and sketch his journeys.

In recent years Griff has help Professor David Bellamy in promoting wildlife and the environment on the Holiday Parks by illustrating several projects for the prestigious and successful David Bellamy conservation awards.

In 2006 Griff took the decision to become a full time artist predominantly painting Wildlife in Acrylic and watercolour but does use a variety of mediums depending on the subject matter. Living on the Lizard peninsular this is an ideal environment with its varied scenery and wildlife this, together with a lifetimes observation and experience, goes into creating his work.

In his first year demand for his work has been phenomenal with many of his pieces going overseas, this coupled with the continuation of a week by week diary of the natural history of the Lizard peninsula for a local award winning estate, is set to continue in the future. Griff will also be featured in Wildscape and Artist & illustrators magazines (June & July respectively).
