Welcome

Welcome to my website

I am currently a professional web designer/graphic designer. In my spare time and whilst on vacation, I enjoy painting portraits and landscapes of people and places that inspire me.

At present I accept commissions for pastel portraits. If you are interested in commissioning a pastel portrait for a special occasion, please go to the contact page.

My influences are many including William Roberts, Tamara de Lempicka, Holbein, Vaserelly, Melissa Scott Miller, Jonathan Leckie, William de Morgan, Peter Brown (a local Enfield artist) and Anthony Gormley

My portraits are stylistic and have a leaded glass effect to their general appearance. I aim to capture an aspect of my sitter's personality. Sometimes I like to do several attempts to capture the mood of the sitter.

Usually it takes up to 3 hours to do an initial painting with the sitter in front of me. I then take batches of photos to work from in my own home. A painting can take up to 2 weeks to complete.
