GALLERIES
Pet Portraits
In recent years portraits of pets have been my most sought-after commissions from loyal clients. I appreciate the opportunity to capture the personalities of beloved fur babies
Birds
Some of my favourite painting subjects are birds. I strive to capture my affection for our feathered friends. Their dazzling colours, cheeky interactions and humorous antics are all so appealing.
Music, Nature, Seascapes & Others
Music accompanies art and makes us feel alive. I always have music playing whilst in my studio and am always fascinated by the vast range of colours found in nature.
Wildlife
I enjoy painting not only domestic animals with their quirky, individual personalities but am also fascinated by animals found round the world. I love capturing the light in their eyes that seems to bring them to life so instantly.
Alcohol Ink
Alcohol ink art is a vibrant art form in which highly pigmented alcohol based dyes are manipulated using isopropyl alcohol, air pressure, sponges, brushes, etc.
