ARTWORK

My artwork represents a collection of my more recent paintings that have been shown in art galleries over the last 18-months to a large number of published pieces spanning the last 20+ years.
Click on the below link toi view: MY RECENT ARTWORKThe medium I am most fond of working with is acrylic paint with black ink. Although I trained in watercolours, there are certain advantages to painting with acrylics using watercolour techniques. The black ink is rendered overtop the acrylic paint, then reworked several times with more paint and ink. I will often blend and blur the ink, creating tonal values that are reminiscent of near photographic quality. This is a personal art style I have developed over the years that has been influenced by over 30+ years experience as an artist and from studying art history. It has been a long progression of experimentation and combining art techniques.

Many of the art styles I use are influence by my experience of working in the medium of print during my art school years and also working as a silkscreen artist. Although I owe a lot to the countless hours I have spent experimenting with various art techniques and mediums -- if I think a technique may work, a known or a new technique, I will give it try it. Some of my best artwork came from showing no fear in the face of what others have told me is too difficult, too time-consuming, or impossible to achieve.
