About

I don't paint photographs of golf courses. I paint portraits of them.

A course is not a moment. It is a body of land that has held generations of players, the architect who laid it out, the captains who walked it, the juniors who will inherit it, and the round you played there last summer that you have not stopped thinking about. When I paint a course, I am painting the place and the procession of people who have loved it.

I trained as an artist and work as a Head of Art at a UK boarding school. My paintings sit firmly apart from the photo-realistic conventions of golf art. Each course I paint is one I have walked. Drone footage has its place, it lets you read the land the way an archaeologist reads a site, seeing the undulations nature shaped and time has changed. But a course will not give itself up from above. The surface only opens itself to a painter who has walked it and plays the sport.

Each finished painting also gives rise to a small number of hand-finished editions. Every one is screen-printed from my original and then individually completed by hand in the studio. No two are alike.

The current collection includes the Old Course at St Andrews, Royal Troon, Royal Dornoch, Gleneagles King's Course, and Ailsa at Turnberry. In summer 2026 I am undertaking a six-week tour of American private clubs.

Originals are held in private collections on both sides of the Atlantic. Commissions for clubs and collectors are open.
