"As a portrait and figurative artist, I strive to achieve three main objectives in all of my work;
Firstly, to meet the compositional and aesthetic needs of the painting.
Secondly, to create a highly detailed, realistic and honest representation.
Finally, to capture and reinforce the personality of the sitter, creating an intimate yet sympathetic portrayal. When these objectives have all been met, the result will be a portrait that I can truly be proud of, and more importantly, that the client will cherish for a lifetime."
