Artist’s Statement
Since I can remember, I have always enjoyed making things and being
creative. When I left school I decided to train as a Fine Artist
initially taking an Art and Design Foundation Studies course at
the Surrey Institute of Art and Design. Here I experimented with
all forms of media such as photography, sculpture and printmaking.
Following this, I went on to study a Fine Art degree at Plymouth
University where my work focused on a dance movement theme, using
a combination of digital video, drawing and painting. A few of my
paintings were exhibited in Plymouth at The Royal William Yard
Hearts Capital and Graduate exhibitions, and at The Wall and Coach
House Galleries in Yorkshire.
Subsequently, I began painting all sorts of things, enjoying in
particular painting people in quite a contemporary way. This led
me to start a portrait business. I love working as a portrait
artist and especially enjoy bringing out the character of a person
or pet. Artists which have influenced my work include Ilaria
Rosselli del Turco, Annalisa Avancini and Jeff Stultins.
I work with a variety of top quality paints and drawing materials
on different size scale canvases or paper, depending on the
customer’s specifications and budgets. You can view images
of my work under the
people portraits
and
pet portraits page.
Commissioning a portrait is fun, rewarding and touching! People
love to own something specific and unique to them. Have a look

frequently asked questions should you have any other queries.
