While taking internet lessons from an artschool in the States I started with acrylics and with it’s versatility and fast drying time, it is my medium of choice.

sing a Renaissance glazing technique I learned at this school, I paint with several translucent layers of color to build up a richness and depth that gives the surface a glowing, effervescent quality. Finally, I adorn the painting surface with a treasure trove of detail to heighten the illusion of three-dimensionality. It does take a lot of time, but I feel the end result is worth it. My aim in painting is to bring out the endearing aspect of the subject – each painting should touch the heart of the viewer.
I take commissions of individual portraits and pets.
