I live and work in the UK. I paint in a realist style. I always paint in oil either on canvas or gessoed panel. I like to capture either what I see as an image in my head or the reality of a person sitting in front of me in a painting to give it a permanent presence. I am drawn to nature and the human form and the way a depiction of light in a painting can create both emotion and the illusion of 3D form on a two dimensional surface.
