Darryl grew up with strong influences from his father who was always painting.

In 2003 he achieved his A level in Art at Southdowns College.

Married, with children, Darryl's art was pushed aside, having a family to support.

Since being self-employed, a cobbler, he now has free time to paint again and doesn't waste a minute. He has had many commissions for portraits, both animal and people. They are proving extremely popular.

Darryl is currently working on a body of work for his first solo exhibition, which he hopes will be in December 2008. He is showing how the old world fits in the modern world of  today. Painting his local history with how it quietly stands with us today in the twenty-first century.

This work should prove to be very interesting.

Darryl undertakes commissions and works from photographs.
