I am a self-taught artist specialising in oils. I first started painting in 2012 and generally painted whatever caught my interest. This has in the last few years narrowed down to focus on figurative art, with themes of lost artwork, Don Quixote, historical paintings and portraiture.
Looking forward to presenting my next collection in late 2020/early 2021 - "Lost Art".
No formal art education. Self-taught but this term doesn't encapsulate all I've taken in and learnt from the artists who have gone before me. I've learnt a huge amount starting my new collection recreating lost artworks of the old masters, using the techniques developed in these recreations to inform my own original artwork.
