Artist Biography

I am a realistic painter and I had a problem - You may have it too.

My problem was capturing that perfect image. You know the one - you have a vision, an idea, or a scene you saw briefly. Even if you manage to get your camera out in time, when you see the resulting photo your shoulders slump and your head dips as you realise the photo is nowhere near as spectacular as the scene. The story, the energy, the beauty of the moment is lost. 

Our Problem - An amazing vision and no record of it:

Like you, I have found that most snaps just do not do the scene justice. The landscapes are flat, the details are lost in the shadows and highlights. The colours do not glow like your memory. Often the story you want to portray or the energy of the moment gets diluted. Whatever the reason, the result is the same. I don’t know if you do, but I have enough poor photos to paper all the walls in my house and still have some left over! How can this frustration be overcome?

I knew I needed skills to be able to help you:

I spent many years building my skills, so now when I put paint to canvas it does exactly as I want.  I refined my skills in all the essential elements of art so that I can bring you my highest quality fine art paintings. 
​

I can capture the energy of your story and its full beauty in paint:

Now, I can capture your vision in paint. I can tell your story using composition, a full range of tones, and all the details, colour and energy you want. All of these elements sing together to bring the energy of your vision into your home.  This energy will have a lasting positive effect on you space.  No more regrets and missed moments, you will have that picture you dreamed of. 
​

My personal mission - to give back:

My own work allows me to capture and reflect nature’s energy and beauty to enable more people to feel it. It allows me to support my passion for protecting our fragile earth. I do this by supporting two important environmental charities and by being an avid recycler, reducing my use of disposables wherever possible, recycling and reusing where I can.
​

My Collectors:

Shortly after I started to paint, friends and colleagues requested work, from horse drawings and pet portraits to pictures of buildings, I helped many people realise their dreams on paper. More recently I have painted buildings that no longer exist, trees that have been lost to storms, children on beaches and even a historical scene from a copy of an antique photograph. 

All of these scenes have been very significant to the collector, but not suitably captured any other way. 

My works have won awards and are in private and corporate collections in Australia, and in many private collections in the united Kingdom and USA.
​

How I can help you: ​

I love to listen to your story and distil the energy from it. I have acute attention to detail and can work to a time line. Each of my works is beautifully composed to resonate with the energy and story you want depicted. I will paint a detailed representation of your subject, be it your children on the beach, the building or landscape of your choice, or a still life scene. 
Let your imagination run free, or let me paint that scene you photographed, but which did not quite do the scene justice. Contact me now to find out If I can help. If you would like me to help realise your vision find out more here
