About the Artist
I have been drawing and painting for most of my life, I am self taught trying different mediums but get most satisfaction from using pencils, despite this I have a passion for the work of the old masters, enjoying the work of artists such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Michelangelo, Caravaggio and of course Leonardo da Vinci. My strength is in portraits. I work in graphite, charcoal and pastel pencils and I have recently started working with acrylic paints.
Over the years I have undertaken many commissions with very pleasing feedback which is what drives me forward, my aim is first and foremost to enjoy my hobby, also to improve with every picture and hopefully give others the same pleasure that I feel when completing a piece of work.
If you would like to commission a portrait feel free to contact me through the Guild of Wiltshire Artists.
