Self Portrait
In my happy place
Not for sale - I mean its me, why would anyone want it?
I paint people and animals and have been doing so for over twenty years.
Every face is different, the light hits each face differently illuminating it in a unique way. If you get it just right you catch the magical mixture of character, light and emotion.
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.
Having only used watercolour and inks in the past few years I have added digital paintings to my repertoire and am finding this new media amazingly flexible, next year I am hoping to be able to add oil portraits as well.
Last year was a ridiculously busy year. This year I will be retiring from my part-time role as a Teaching Partner in a local school to give more time to art. I will also be taking part in Urban Art fair in Brixton in July which is such an amazing art fair with a great family atmosphere. Meanwhile commissions are still fairly busy but I do have space for a couple more before the Summer.
Happy Easter!
