I'm an artist who specialises mainly in paintings of historical planes, trains and ships. I see myself as an illustrator, someone who strives to capture the essence of a moment in time with dramatic flair and colour. Researching historical subjects is half the joy of painting for me, as I delve into the nuances of the past and strive to bring it to life on canvas as realistically as possible. I revel in the challenge of recreating a fleeting moment, infusing it with emotion and depth to create a work of art that transports the viewer to another time and place. I use acrylics as my primary medium, but I also use specialised liquid washes for intricate details – a technique I picked up from my other hobby of model-making. Through this combination, I’m able to create a realistic layered effect, bringing an added depth to each piece I create.
