This is one of the most wonderful commissions I have had. I exhibited a half finished painting of two young bulls wearing crowns skating on the river Cam in summer showing off to two heifers in a field. I asked my visitors how I should proceed with this painting and suddenly I had a commission to paint a Cambridge scene.
So meet the Duke of Cambridge and his brother getting Kate's and Pippa's attention. She has a handbag and in the distance can be seen pushing a pram. What else can you see?
I paint detailed, dream-like images in oils on canvas which incorporate rich night skies and a shining moon. Stories inspired by the detail and pattern of medieval art, tapestries and my imagination. My work is very influenced by the wonderful city of Cambridge where I live.
Photographs can never do justice to my paintings as they change when the light catches the silver or copper leaf. If you would like to view my actual paintings please contact me to arrange a visit to my studio. My work can also be seen at Byard Art, 14 King's Parade, Cambridge CB2 1SJ, opposite King's College Chapel and at Lux Gallery, 13 Greenfield Cres, Birmingham B15 3AU.
I also take part in Cambridge Open Studios every July where you can visit me in my home studios and 'have a go' at gilding.
