Genre

           



I primarily make realist paintings and drawings that document the beauty and contrasts 
of the environment.  I am also interested in the depiction of water and the ability of 
a still image to capture the ephemeral play of light and shadow on its surface.  I am 
particularly interested in creating works that play with depth and perspective.  As an 
artist concerned with accurate representation, I always work to create highly detailed 
images, but at the same time I attempt to distort the rules of conventional composition 
by playing with unusual angles and altered imagery.  I like to disorient the viewer's 
perception of reality.  At times the results can reflect a surreal influence - these 
works use vivid colour and fantastical imagery to play with the conventions of landscape 
painting and provide a new take on a traditional genre..




Skills



I specialise mostly in pastels and oils, but I also like to experiment with other media.  
I often undertake commissioned works including pet portraits, houses, and various other 
scenes.  I balance my art practice with architectural illustration work, producing realistic 
digital architectural renderings for a range of clients including architects, designers, 
developers and marketing agents.




Qualifications



I am self-taught with more than 10 years experience.  I exhibit regularly at various group shows, 
and have my 4th solo exhibition scheduled for early December 2009.
 

Modus operandi

 
 

 

For me, painting is a passion, not just a job.  As a result, I actually get quite attached 
to most of my artworks. It’s a bitter sweet moment 
when I make a sale because I often find it difficult 
letting them go!
