My unique selling point is that I only ever use eight solid colours in my paintings although I often pick out small interesting details in primary colours. I can produce near photo-real paintings by using this very small palette and it never ceases to amaze me that this sort of result can be achieved with so few colours! I believe the way I create my paintings is unique to me as I am not aware of anyone else using the same type of process.

As I paint from photographic images my subject matter is limitless but most of my inspiration is drawn from street life and my great love of architecture and social history and the contrast between old and new buildings in cities like Birmingham, London and New York.....and the people who live and work in them, all of which I try to include in my cityscape paintings. A bit about my background. I worked for many years as a Freelance Corporate Interior Designer/Maker in the music and leisure industries, designing and making name & logo banners, hand-painted ultra violet backdrops and mobiles and general nightclub decor. I also designed and made dance and theatrical costumes for street artists and nightclub performers and organised theme and costumed dance events.

I paint with acrylics, carrying images around the sides of the deep stretched canvas frames and finish with four layers of protective varnish. I exhibit widely and welcome commissions. Please send me your own high resolution image for a completely no-obligation quote.
