PAINTER
A warm welcome to you, I am a passionate painter my preferred medium being oils and love the challenge of Portraiture! I try to achieve more than a physical likeness, it must tell a story, something about the person, a cheeky smile, a crazy expression or even that something different in a pose. My goal in painting a portrait is to ooze character, reveal subtle actions of the sitter and express to all the beauty beneath.
