Artist’s Statement
I work as a professional contemporary artist to create portraits of people and pets using a variety of paints and drawing materials. It is a wonderful occupation and very rewarding! Portraits are created to suit individual requirements and tastes which means that you can pick the size and medium for your portrait. These portraits capture a person or animals character and remind us of a special moment or memory. Each one is unique and can be appreciated for years to come. Prices start at £50 for unframed drawings and increase as size, medium and detail demands. If you have any questions, please look at the Frequently Asked Questions or contact me (details are on the contact page) with your request.
I trained as a Fine Artist at Plymouth University learning skills in drawing, painting and digital video. Conceptual art and contemporary practice was the main focus of the course. Since graduating, a love of painting people led me to start this portrait business.
Some artists which have influenced my work include Annalysa Avanchi, Jeff Stultins, Suling Wang, Gehart Richter and Bill Viola and I often visit the National Portrait Gallery, Mall Galleries and National Gallery in London for inspiration. I have exhibited work in Surrey, Plymouth, Exeter and Wakefield in various galleries and exhibition spaces. Details of future exhibitions and events will be posted on this site, so watch this space!.
