I have always been drawn to beautiful and artistic things; captivating artwork, elegant buildings and pure and simple countryside. Enjoying visits to an art gallery, studying the fine arts & painting of other artists, and nature in its intricate and diverse wonder.
While at school I enjoyed drawing (mostly horses!) but did not pursue a formal art career. More recently I have found the time and inspiration to paint, with much more precision, and attention to detail, aiming for a what I feel is a "painterly realism" in my work.
I work mostly in oils creating Oil on Canvas, and also use Canvas Panels and Wooden Panels, and offer my original oil paintings for sale at local Art Shows and Exhibitions.
