I’m a versatile self-taught artist who works with many mediums although my main preference would be oils and pastels.
I’m constantly developing and experimenting with new skills hence my portfolio is full of diversity and subjects. My own style ranges somewhere in the middle of realism / impressionism depending on the subject matter. I also enjoy working on hand printed limited edition reduction linocuts as it allows me to offer original art at a reasonable price.
I create my own original paintings but I also work closely with clients on commission pieces to create either that ‘wow factor’ statement piece or a memory that is special to them.
Commission Me
Being a versatile artist, I can paint in many styles from Van Gogh to Degas to Thomas C Fedro – all famous artists that I have been previously been commissioned to paint in the style of.
All my materials are of the best artist and archival quality ensuring a long life of your painting.
Teaching
Teaching has always been one of my greatest pleasures whether teaching art in high schools / colleges or from my garden studio it is always an amazing high. I run a small group 10-week courses for absolute beginners and a follow on 10 week course for advancement techniques in watercolour.
I also offer Saturday / daytime workshops in and around Norfolk. If you have an enquiry or interest please contact me. Most workshops I provide all the materials, a set of notes and a ‘goody bag’ so you can continue to practice at home.
