My artwork is often true to nature. I enjoy working from first-hand experience and reference. Careful research is undertaken before each project; which includes visiting museum collections and specific locations.

Whilst I aim for accurate representation, my work emanates a sense of spirit and place; there's always an element of personal reflection and response.

I feel that this delivers a particular authenticity, that only people who carefully research, observe and understand a subject in detail would be able to translate from pencil to paper.

I use traditional media such as graphite pencil, charcoal, and ink. I predominantly work in black and white because I feel it helps to recreate my personal response with greater accuracy. However I have successfully completed projects in full colour using watercolour and pastels. 

I'm open to both professional and private commissions. Please contact me to discuss your project or brief and I'll be happy to help.
