The gallery page has been updated after the past year of exploring the beautifully simple world of greyscale graphite composition.
Somehow however, it is anything but simple once you go back to exploring the base concepts of tone, light and shadow. As the artistic foundation to full colour work, 'the back collection' has joined the family with its monochromatic feel and atmosphere.
The next sessions at the table will bring new challenge with scale and vista compositions, which will provide a beautiful adventure into our titanic natural world.
Because, "Art is all around us."

Welcome
I believe in honoring my traditional art roots and value those who mentored me through their decades of creative life. It is a gift to share what is now a very personal art journey.
For me, the simple pencil slows everything down to a warm pace, as we navigate our ever changing world.
Art helps us to notice everything around us and requests an attentive eye from the artist. Sometimes we see colourful majesty, but sometimes we find appeal in something uniquely imperfect or simplistic. The physical closeness to the paper that the pencil provides is something that has always appealed to me.
It allows me to be up close and personal with the medium and what it is I am drawing or sketching.
It is like an old friend, calling to offer time well spent.
I invite you to browse my online gallery, as new pieces are added.
