I absolutely love the miracle that is painting. I love to take a range of colours and blend them on a canvas in a way that brings joy, light, thoughts, and feelings into our lives. I love the way a painting can tell a story or bring back memories. Creating something gentle and uniquely beautiful is a wonderful way to express myself.

I absolutely love the miracle that is painting. I love to take a range of colours and blend them on a canvas in a way that brings joy, light, thoughts, and feelings into our lives. I love the way a painting can tell a story or bring back memories. Creating something gentle and uniquely beautiful is a wonderful way to express myself. I am a strong person who has always loved a challenge, and painting offers me a consistent and ongoing challenge in pursuit of perfection. Perfection is something so elusive it can never be attained, but the desire to achieve it, keeps my art constantly evolving and revealing new and hidden parts of me. My style is hyper-realist, and I love to paint small series of paintings from a variety of different subject matter, rather than reproducing one successful painting over and over again, till it becomes boring. I hope that by remaining loyal to my creative instincts, my work reveals an honesty that people can connect with. I am a patient person, someone who strives for quality over quantity and feels rewarded whenever my art makes someone smile (or shed a tear).

I am largely a self taught artist, but my training as a veterinarian taught me to be very observant. Animals can't talk, so I learnt to understand them, by closely observing their actions. My in depth knowledge of anatomy really helps to bring my animal subjects to life. Through out my career, I have loved the great outdoors, the fauna and flora, and natural harmonies.

I am largely a self taught artist, but my training as a veterinarian taught me to be very observant. Animals can't talk, so I learnt to understand them, by closely observing their actions. My in depth knowledge of anatomy really helps to bring my animal subjects to life. Through out my career, I have loved the great outdoors, the fauna and flora, and natural harmonies. This love is often reflected in my work.
