My commissioned portraits reflect my interest in colour and light. I believe drawing is a fundamental activity and as such it underpins all my work that is figurative. My portrait and figurative work is built on anatomical accuracy. As a portrait artist, each portrait that I paint must reveal something original about the sitter. I want my painting to resonate with the presence of the individual, If it is a copy of a painting or photograph then I try to capture the light, movement or the emotion in the original painting/photograph.
