An oil portrait is a very special, luxurious item to be treasured and passed down through generations. I use high quality paints and substrates to make precious portraits which will last several lifetimes. 

Using traditional techniques I build up a sophisticated illusion using many layers and glazes of paint, working with impasto in the final layers to create a beautiful painterly surface. I especially love the possibilities oil paint offers for creating atmospheric pictorial depth.

​Capturing a true likeness of my subjects is of utmost importance to me and I take great joy seeing my subjects come to life on the canvas. ​​
