My work is mainly figurative and I generally paint in oil. I enjoy pushing the boundaries of my painting style and work hard with each individual model to create something which is different and sometimes a little edgy. I enjoy working with people who are creative, enjoy a challenge and do not mind spending the time to achieve the perfect result.
My art:
My art is unashamedly voyeuristic…….isn’t all art? I endeavour to create pictures that force an intimate relationship between the viewer and the subject. I hope to appeal to the viewer on an emotional level, inviting them into a situation that perhaps they would not normally be allowed to encounter, through the eyes of my subjects.
I always respond to comments and tags...........I am grateful for the time you spend looking at my work, whether it is seconds or hours.

…….and finally just a polite note as I treat this as my workplace:
I don't wish to sound arrogant and I am flattered by the friend requests that I receive, but I do not collect friends for the sake of it. My friends are people I am currently working with or have worked with in the past. If I do friend request it is because I think you, or your work is very special and I would feel privileged to work with you at some stage in the future. Thank you.
