Philosophy

As a professional artist my philosophy is to provide archival grade conservation quality original prints, that will endure beyond a lifetime to be enjoyed by future generations, and provide investment quality art.

Bio

I was born in London in 1954, and started drawing at a very young age, having a natural talent for art. As my ability progressed I developed a skill for technical detail. Proficiency in technical drawing and painting is the foundation of my style. During the early seventies I studied graphic art to diploma level, then in 1974 concentrated on my main ambition to work as a professional fine-artist. From this time I worked on portrait commissions, and my first venture into publishing fine-art prints was in the mid seventies. Collecting prints, of a good quality, is an excellent opportunity for people to have the enjoyment of owning an artist's work. I have had a special interest in automobiles since the late sixties, fuelled by the radical custom cars and hot rods of that era.

Style

My eclectic style and individual artistic vision is a combination of the automotive subject matter, digital art medium, and a blending of technical drawing and painting techniques. When drawing or painting I take a creative approach, subtlely emphasising the individual auto's intrinsic design elements. Representing them from a viewpoint to create a dynamic balance in the whole image. Considerable technical detail is combined with painterly creativity. My style is both technical and creative.
