Steve McCurry’s photograph of Sharbat Gula, a 12-year-old-refugee from Afghanistan, appeared on the June 1985 cover of National Geographic magazine. She was orphaned at six during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and had trekked by foot to Pakistan with her siblings and grandmother. Now she has become a symbol of a return to Afghanistan that hundreds of thousands of refugees are undertaking after decades away. Her piercing green eyes made her an instant icon and have haunted many.

I am a full-time artist, living in the south of France.I paint what I like, but I hope others like them enough also to buy them. I enjoy undertaking commissions and competitions as these challenge me to focus on someone else's perspective. Shape, form, colour and composition all interest me. I paint in numerous styles, with a freedom and a humour that is my watermark. Many of my works are landscape and abstract paintings in oils and acrylic, but my collection of people and surreal still show that exuberance of colour, composition and subject. I am inspired by nature, man-made forms and the humdrum, and I like my art to hint at a story or conundrum. My paintings are distributes around the world. Only about half of my current collection is in this gallery, please get in touch with me, or visit my web-site, to see more works for sale or sold. I welcome personal visits from collectors and I am also keen to find permanent gallery locations in North America, Europe mainland and Britain for my paintings.
