About me

After a career as a senior graphic designer, creative and as an art director in the advertising industry, I have returned to my passion and love of painting. As a student of fine art originally I was inspired by other artists and genres including, Renaissance, Pre Raphaelite Impressionism, Surreal and Comtempory Especially, Turner, Renoir, Monet, Klimpt Dali, Hopper, Pollock Hockney to name a few.
I strive to create artworks that give visual impact and allow the onlooker to immerse themselves in the story telling, providing thought provoking images and in other instances, personal reflections on the world in which we inhabit. Other artworks show the beauty , sence of wellbeing and the continual presence of nature that surrounds us, it's intricate patterns and importance to us as the temporary guardians on this incredible planet.
I will continue to pursue my technique and style in the future and hope that it provides people inspiration or visually pleasing images to enjoy.
