Welcome to my art website

“Through the use of colour I promote life, work and energy balance”

I am a fine art photographer, acrylic artist and visual storyteller. I create art that you will enjoy having in your home as fine art prints or interior decor products.

Welcome to my art website which provides links and detail on my range of art work, how to purchase my work and provides a link to my art blog. There is also a contact form so you can get in touch with me directly. Click on the menu items above that interests you to go to the relevant page.

I specialize in photo art using my own photographs. I work from the heart so all pieces are developed with a little piece of me. Energy in colour, they provide a positive mood enhancer in any room in which they hang. But I don’t just have wall decor available for sale, my work is available on a range of interior decor and personal products too.

My art covers a range of subjects. It reflects my early years in  Brighton in the UK, my life now in Italy, the countryside and my love for animals. I enjoy creating floral art and showing you the beauty of Umbria in Italy where I live.

As a Buddhist, my work also often has a spiritual aspect.

I have won several awards including Best Photopainter 2015 by CQ Magazine and Special Merit and Special Recognition Awards from the Light Space & Time Online Gallery in 2016, 2017 and 2018. I was an Artsy Shark featured artist in August 2016.

“The only thing that stops you doing something is your imagination”

As a visual storyteller the pieces I create always have a story, a message I am trying to get across or imagery to make you stop and think. Sometimes they aim to get across how good it felt to stand looking at a landscape or an object – like with this beautiful landscape of the Val D’Orcia in Tuscany. It was a breathtakingly beautiful, foggy day.

Promoting the use of art for healing is also an important focus for one aspect of my artwork and I have developed a range of healing art and color harmony images. Several of these have been produced as videos on my YouTube Channel, sometimes working in tandem with young musicians/rappers.

Sometimes my work is a large statement about something. Other times it is expressing my joy of life. Yet other times it may be just my pleasure in capturing an image of a tiny spider web hidden in tall grass. Or the smile on the face of my cat and model Stevie Mouse.

I hope you find something you like in my work and writing.
