I am a professional artist based in Wokingham, Berkshire.

I have extensively developed my own personal style and technique, I create all oil paintings entirely using a knife and mixing only on the canvas.

The style of my artwork is a contemporary realism, influenced by the romanticism of my favourite post renaissance classical Masters and their timeless masterpieces. William Bouguereau in particular. My artwork compositions mostly entail dramatic lighting and shading. I simply adore light and am fascinated with its arguably undue influence on any subject.

Predominantly figurative, I aim to capture a carefully composed mood, atmosphere, drama, passion and emotion of the performance in a frozen realism, rather than a portrait of the performers themselves.

I am an award-winning artist and have exhibited extensively throughout the UK and internationally.

I am also interested in exhibition, gallery representation, publishing, licensing and venue display opportunities.

And I offer fine art scanning, giclée printing, art practice coaching and art event services.
