My Art

My artworks are created using anything up to 50 separate component photographs which are combined to create more realistic and natural looking picture using a 'real life' colour palette.


Commissions

I am always happy to take on individual commissions using photographs supplied by the client to produce truly unique and personal artworks at a very reasonable price. If you are interested in finding out more please feel free to contact me.
