Hi! A bit about me:

I started drawing at a young age and continued throughout school and university, creating mostly cartoons and caricatures for local papers. I completed a degree in Visual Communication Design and later also in Strategic Brand Management.  After University I worked as a graphic designer and later a Brand and Marketing Manager.  In 2014 my wife and I moved to Jersey and I have been freelancing as a graphic designer, illustrator and cartoonist.  Shortly after “freelancing” it I started to explore with oil paint and creating my own art, forging my path as an artist.

I paint mostly in oils, although I might make watercolour preparatory sketches.  I set out to convey as best I can the striking, sometimes uncanny beauty of Jersey with its particular and special quality of light through landscape painting.  I also do portrait paintings and in future hope to paint more people and prominent figures as well. 

My style is sort-of impressionistic and slightly realistic.  I try to find the unsaid emotion in a scene.  A feeling that is conveyed visually when looking at a Jersey-based setting in particular.  Something that you can only feel through seeing.

I hope that my paintings, although set in Jersey, can be anywhere depending on the message it projects.
