I studied art in Manchester, Liverpool and The Royal Academy Schools. I moved to Portishead in 1988 and have continued to make work from the surrounding landscape, estuary and skies. I was elected a member of the Royal West of England Academy in 2008 and served as vice-president from 2013-2019. During that period I curated an exhibition at the academy on the theme of ‘Air’. I was elected as a member of the Bath Society of Artists in 2017 Haigh & Jacobson make work inspired by the views from their house & studios overlooking the estuary at Portishead.
