I've been painting for about 30 years, and am self-taught. I mostly paint with acrylics onto canvas or walls, and more recently using digital resources as well as AI-generated artwork.
My speciality is creating a shallow depth of field effect on canvas. This creates depth to the painting by varying the degree of focus throughout the painting. This technique works well for portraits, and certain types of still-life. I also enjoy working with quite strong colours, which is ideal with acrylic as a medium. I enjoy painting quirky townscapes and have been influenced by the work of the French artist Alain Godon.
My portraits often feature models from around the world, who kindly give me permission to create elegant paintings based upon images from their modelling portfolios. My thanks go to the many friends I have made through these projects, as well as to the professional photographers I have collaborated with.
There are a number of links to further pages of my work, including my popular murals in schools, hospitals and homes in Gloucestershire, England.
