Cary

A member of SAA, Royal Tunbridge Wells Art Society and The British Art Club.  I have exhibited at Urban Art Brixton for several years and more recently in the RTWAS Summer and Winter Exhibitions.  


Using a distinctive style I paint people and animals and have been doing so for over twenty years.  This year I took part in the evening event at the Mall Galleries in London during the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour Exhibition.  This is a live painting event where you are given around 2 hours to paint a portrait of a model..

  Much to my delight I won first prize for the year.


My portraits sell around the world from Africa to the USA and between, I pride myself on  gaining a relationship with the client in order to best fulfil their needs.  I can work from Photographs but it is great to be able to meet my subject as that way you can add more character to a portrait, I am also happy to paint from life but that can be quite onerous for the sitter.


Now a retiree, albeit an early one, I am enjoying the extra time for art.  I attend the Royal Tunbridge Wells Art Society running a portrait group there.


 I have lots of commissions to work on as well as keeping going with my 60 over 60 (see examples below). If you want to meet me and or see some of my work in person, I will be exhibiting with the Tunbridge Wells Life Group at the Spa Galleries on the Pantiles at the end of June and the huge open air art fair that is Urban Art Brixton in early July​.


​Other great news -Following the closure of most of the local council run art classes and the waiting list for the Royal Tunbridge Wells Art Society I am filling the gap by starting a new group. The Watercolour Club to be weekly on a Wednesday 7pm at Charles the Martyr Hall no booking required.  £10 per evening 10th one free!
