| Biography | Confession time...that's not actually me over on the left there but one of my favourite commissions of a lovely young lady called Rathie____________ After doing an arts foundation course in Nelson, Lancashire I was seduced by the theatre and went on to do a degree in Theatre Design at the Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff.
I was waylaid by TV, Theatre and film propmaking for almost 15 years. My chosen medium for my portraiture was originally pastel, but I started working in oils in the late 1990's and haven't picked up my pastels since.
You can find my website published in the book 'The Perfect Digital Portfolio' by Ava Publishing.
Recently my work has been seen on the latest series of BBC's Doctor Who.

I love Paul and Rathie and the Wedding Diptych. Your court portraits are intriguing too. If you have time, I'd love it if you'd check out my site and let me know what you think has promise. Thanks! May

Thanks. I really like your work as well, for the same reasons. I enjoy how you keep things simple. Are the red background ones all computer manipulated?
