Here is a selection of artwork which I painted over the years. These are not for sale but I hope you enjoy viewing them. They may spark an inspiration you are seeking for your commissioned painting, or they may give you an idea of what you may like to paint with me in one of my workshops.
“I am a story teller. Every single piece of my artwork has a meaning behind it.”
