| " I was
born in London in 1963 and I am a self-taught artist, choosing to
take biology at university instead of anything artistic. After years
of working in the computer industry, I left a fairly lucrative line
of work to pursue a career as a freelance illustrator/artist. Three
years on, I am slowly building a reputation, mainly in pagan/new-age
circles. My art
is mainly based around visions and ritual work as a solitary pagan.
My subjects are the nature-spirits and elementals, although
sometimes my paintings are representations of goddesses and gods. My
style is strongly influenced by the likes of Brian Froud, Arthur
Rackham, Alan Lee, and the Pre-Raphaelites. I work mainly in gouache
or acrylics, but use watercolour pencils & pastels to obtain certain
effects, and to experiment. I paint on line and wash board or primed
hard-board. |
