Artist Statement
Contemporary, vibrant and detailed...
As an artist, I have always thought of myself as a tourist in London. Around every corner, there is so much to see. It is like opening a treasure chest. The city is like a layer cake of architectural styles, spanning centuries and combining old with contemporary next to each other, which I am still in awe and inspiration of.
Living in London, I prefer to paint cityscapes rather than the countryside. Leave the pastoral scenes to the great masters and city scenes to urban based artists.
Hindsight does not necessarily lead to greater wisdom. I still make mistakes; life is a learning process whether you are 20 or 80.
I have always had a keen interest in architecture, both historical and contemporary. On reflection, I have been fortunate to get a distinction degree in architecture and practice in architecture firms. This gave me a good foundation in the principles of art, and now I am transferring those skills into being a freelance artist.
Please wait, it may take sometime ...
