Details
My work varies from figurative to semi abstract interpretations of people, places and still life.
An artist's validity and integrity is demonstrated by their ability to constantly experiment and develop their oeuvre, remaining confident and committed to their own vision. In other words, they are conscious of creating a uniquely individual style which can easily be identified, and is not derivative.

I paint en plein air and in the studio using artist's quality materials
