I am an artist who specialises in drawing. In my current work I have started to explore architecture and urban scenery, using ink and watercolour to see and interpret the world around us in a fresh and dynamic way.

My main body of work has been in colour pencil and has primarily focussed on portraiture.  The detail and intensity of my work has been influenced by the artists of the Northern Renaissance and by Giovanni Battista Moroni. The subjects of my work look back at and challenge the viewer and the unsettling nature of some of my drawings is heightened by subliminal manipulation and distortion.  In my most recent portraits, visual references to Renaissance paintings play a game with the viewer, teasing them with the ambiguity between historical viewpoint and the creation of their own new meaning and narrative.

My drawings are available as limited edition prints and cards - please contact me for further details.
