Together we discuss the subject matter, the size of the painting and the painting surface. I paint in oil, on either gesso prepared wood board, canvas board or stretched canvas. I can work from your photograph. Images with high resolution and a good sense of light and dark work best. My prices are based on size and complexity. Let’s discuss your ideas and I will give you a quote.
Art lovers, curious or culturally influential types, art and antique dealers, antiquarian book sellers and readers. My paintings and photographs have decorated apartments, houses, country homes, corporate offices, even super yachts. My paintings could equally be at home in hotels, bars and restaurants.

I use PayPal and direct bank deposit.

Yes, I am a trained teacher, having taught adults and children in a wide variety of art disciplines in many different countries.
