I am primarily a self-taught artist. I learnt through trial and error and have subsequently developed my own style of painting that does not neatly fit into the 'Alla Prima' or 'glazing' method, but rather something in-between that may at times mimic either the former or the latter method, depending on the mood of the painting or the hardness or softness of the subject matter. I will often adjust the expressiveness of the brush strokes, depending on what I feel needs to be conveyed in the particular image.
I've been in a number of group exhibitions, including a young artist award in Mall Galleries London, and an exhibition in Cape Town South Africa. However, most of my life I have worked as an illustrator and later creative director at communications company where illustration was my focus. I found this time valuable in expanding my creative perspective. Currently, I have returned full time to my love of painting and even though my main subject matter remains portraiture, I often explore the bringing together of the two art forms of classic portrait painting in oil and illustration.
