 produce fine artwork ranging in size and media from small to large oil paintings, pastels pencil drawings and published fine art prints.
My work is propelled by my interest in portraiture and representations of the future. I specialise in figures, but I am equally at home with both still life ; landscape, genre, epic subjects created for private / public individuals, organisations and galleries |
