Current works
Dogs Series
Based on characterures of animals. Dogs of various breeds. With humour being paramount in my thoughts.
Super Heroes Series
Conversing with friends they suggested I might create a series of Super Heroes originals . To cater for young and old devotees.
TinTin Series
Adventures of Tintin has always been my favourite subject to reproduce. Child hood memories and nostalgia led me to paint my favourite characters from the various publications. Working in acrylic media.
Op Art Series
Entered into the realm of Op Art via commissions from individuals asking for specific pieces namely, Optical illusion. Black on white. This was my first attempt at this genre. I admire Hugo Vasserely’s work which inspired me to use vibrant colours and geometrical shapes and forms.
