His work is also on display at the Serena Hall gallery in Southwold, Suffolk and the Bedford Street gallery in Woburn, Bedfordshire.
He says:
"In the process of creating a painting I employ two different techniques. I either use brushes to generate a flat painting surface with a keen attention to detail, or I utilize painting knives building up a textured surface with expressive strokes.
My inspiration is derived from animals where my intentions are to capture their spirit and unique character traits associated with that particular animal. Also, as I work from photographs I am immortalising a moment from their lives on canvas.
I perceive my artwork as a celebration of nature therefore I use monochrome backgrounds so the viewers attention is not distracted away from the animal depicted.
With my use of bright positive tones I retain a playful edge to my work which reflects my own personality.
When someone walks away from having viewed one of my works my aim is for them to have had a positive experience and in future pay a little more regard to nature."
