I am inspired to paint by many things, including landscapes, contemporary still life, animals and people, all of which feature in my work. My emphasis when painting is on the effects of light and shade, and capturing the essence of the subject. I paint mainly in oils, but also work in acrylic, mixed media, fine art coloured pencil, and graphite pencil. As a commissioned portrait painter, I work to create accurate and realistic portraits of animals and people, capturing the unique character and ?spirit? of the subject. I also run a local art group, give demonstrations and workshops, and have work in private collections in the UK, the USA and Europe.
