My art education started as a part of my resettlement to civilian life after 22 years in the Army back in 2003 where I studied portraiture and life/portrait sculpture. I have a very wide and diverse portfolio of work in both 2 and 3 dimensions.
To broaden my portfolio in 2006 I started automotive and figurative artwork that has widened to wildlife, military and botanical subjects in 2009.
In Feb 2011 I was elected as an Associate Member of the Armed Forces Art Society. As a professional engineer and artist I aim to get an accurate portrayal of subjects of my work, hence the illustrative style of much of my work. My wildlife and portraiture work is of a looser style but with the same degree of technical accuracy where capturing an accurate likeness and expressive mood are key. Although I use some artistic license to make a subject artistically and aesthetically pleasing I aim not to compromise the technical quality of any final product. All framing is done in-house to best match and complement the artwork, unglazed works are often finished in the frame.
I use a variety of media from paper, canvas, panel and exclusively for 2011 some subjects on leather!
Each piece of art seen here at ArtGallery.co.uk is undertaken as a challenge to stretch my techniques, develop new ones or to master a new subject matter or medium.Artgallery rating
