Biography
Animals are the main source of inspiration for my artwork. I work in a highly detailed way using small brushes. I prefer to paint on aluminium as this gives me a very smooth surface to work on, which I think compliments my work. The character of the animal is paramount with all my paintings. I will often spend weeks with the animals I paint, getting to know them and making sure I have the right photo.
