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). I had a great time exhibiting at Cranbrook Art Show in November and then another Pop Up in Tunbridge Wells picturesque High Street in December, followed by a weekend popup with a small group in RTWAS 15th/16th March 


As I write this I am preparing to visit the Mall Galleries in London to take part in their live watercolour portrait event once again.


​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 Thursday Evening at Charles the Martyr Hall. please turn up for our first session on 23rd April at 7pm or contact me for further details
