ABOUT ME

 

I was born and grew up in Exeter, Devon where the surrounding Devonshire countryside inspired my love of wildlife and animals. I started to draw and paint from a young age leading to the study of Graphic Design at Exeter College of Art & Design.

 

My love of painting and animals has always remained, but the desire to paint has grown stronger year on year leading to obtaining commissions, for human and animal subjects, particularly within the equine field.

 

The power, form and spirit of the horse has always inspired me to paint these magnificent animals. The very essence of their being is very much a communication of human emotion. This is what I try to communicate in my work.

 

Most of the images in my gallery are available as limited edition prints (please click on Prices page for costs of these and commisssioned portraits and to find out how to order.

 

I hope you enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoy producing it.

COMMISSIONS  

 

A portrait is not just about creating a likeness, it's about communicating the soul and personality of the subject.

To reveal the spirit is the ultimate aim of my work by focussing on the inner being of each subject allowing the viewer to understand and interact with the picture.Whether equine, canine, feline or human, all subjects receive the same approach and intense application.

My preferred practice is to visit my clients to see the subject at first hand to make notes, sketches and take photographs. this enables me to experience and understand the personality of the subject, ultimately leading to a more inspiring finished work. Whilst my time is free this process does incur an additional mileage charge of 50p/mile from my base in Leeds. I do however, accept photographs supplied by my clients should distance be a problem. In this instance I would require as many clear photographs of the subject as possible to enable an understanding of the animal's form, texture and colouring. I will advcise my client as to whether teh photographs are suitable before starting work on the picture. All photographs will be returned together with the final painting.

You will note from my terms and conditions that I require a 50% non-refundable deposit which is payable at the time of order. The balance is due on completion of the work prior to despatch. Wherever possible I will e-mail a proof of the finished work to you for approval prior to despatch. In the unlikely event that you should be unhappy with the final painting and I cannot resolve any issues to your satisfaction, the balance will be returned to you once the painting has been returned to me.

If you would like to commission a painting I would be delighted to hear from you.
