I class myself as an old fashioned Landscape painter with a passion to bring atmosphere and drama to my work, working predominantly in Oils and Acrylics.

Is there a memory or location you would like as a painting

Commissions are a 2 way process, as we begin the collaboration neccessary to ensure your concept and vision are also mine . This is the only way I can paint in my particular style, but still stay true to your aspirations
I have no connection to any of the artists, I offer them up simply because I have followed them as a lover of contemporary art. I love their use of colour and medium and the imagination to express it creatively.
