Welcome to the Gallery section of the site! Here you'll find pieces of my artwork - all of which are for sale! (shameless plug) It's the usual deal - click on one of the images to see a bigger version.

As an artist (and it's taken a long time for me to accept that title for myself), I have always been fascinated by nature and more specifically animals and birds. I try to capture their beauty, colour and movement, most of the time in a fairly representational style. 
I'm also rediscovering my love and fascination of the human figure. I'm taking a life drawing class for the first time since university and I'm loving it. It's also made me realise how slowly I work when I can take my time! Obviously some of the life drawing pieces are NSFW, so use your judgement when looking at them.

In terms of technique I favour watercolour for its fluidity and its ease and speed of use, pen and ink, and I still have a fondness for coloured pencils even though they're very slow to use! 
I've also discovered a love for working in biro lately - fast, strong and it forces me to focus and reduce the amount of corrections/mistakes I make!

I've started to play with linocut prints recently and you'll start to see more of them appearing here and in the blog section of the site. I love the texture and quality of the ink with prints, and the imperfections that make each piece unique despite being able to do multiple copies using the same print block.
