A Swansea based artist and a member of the Swansea Art Society, working mainly in and around Swansea, the Gower and South Wales and always happy to undertake commissions. I am a traditional artist and work in a range of mediums including Watercolours, Oils and Acrylics. I have always had a special interest in painting and drawing landscapes and seascapes, country cottages, churches and family pets.
It's exciting to know that so many of my paintings now hang on the walls of happy customers all over the world and you too could join them when you buy an original painting direct from the artist.
Many people browsing the web looking at art are possibly thinking of about a specific wall in their home and looking for something of a particular size, style and colour to fit it and often dismiss commissioning an original work of art, which would be unique to themselves and may well be less expensive than purchasing something that's not quite right.
Obviously I don't know your house or what would and would not work in your home, only you know that, but just think what an original commissioned painting could do for that wall or space you want to fill. Why not get in touch and ask about getting that special original painting in the size you require to fill that space.
You choose the view and I'll paint the picture ...... Do you have some photographs of your's or your family's favourite holiday beauty spot or special landmark? Then let me turn them into an original painting, a work of art, that will bring the image to life and be something that you and your family can treasure forever.
Stuck for that special anniversary present, then how about an original painting of your family home which would make a really memorable gift to the one you love.
Looking for that truly original wedding present ? Then how about a commissioned painting of the church or chapel the couple got married in. Not only would the loving couple get an original work of art which they can treasure forever, you would be able to give them that totally original wedding gift.
I hope you enjoy viewing the small selection my work on the website as much as I have enjoyed painting them, these are just a few of my favourite pictures or projects. If you have any questions about my work or about commissioning a painting then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
