Oil Paintings

As an artist I am inspired by the human portrait and figure. I am drawn to their unmatched power to evoke an emotional response.

I work in oils as they provide the greatest variety of visual and textural effects and the richest colour of any single medium. Their slow drying characteristics allow me to continually experiment with techniques to create the illusion of depth and three-dimentionality.

I like to create art which reflects the complex and changing world of today while respecting the rich tradition of the past.

Being self taught, I have enjoyed the various challenges that each and every painting has presented, which has allowed me to grow and develop as an artist.
