“My artwork is foremost about light and shade. The play of light on a form is what gives it life. It’s what I look for when I paint and draw, and it guides my thinking from concept to finished artwork.”
I trained in Realist painting, but am also interested in Rococo, Academic and Neoclassical styles.
I was deaf as a child, so I spent much of my time painting and writing. I was lucky in that my first art teacher was an illustrator for the BBC.
I had a long career in computer graphics, industrial animation, and publishing. After 30 years of that, I’d had enough. I quit my career, sold my house and almost everything I possessed, and moved to Italy to study at the Angel Academy of Art in Florence. That decision changed everything!
The Angel Academy is ARC Approved, and is accredited by the Regione Toscana.
