ABOUT
There are endless vignettes to capture in the ever-changing conditions of western Oregon, which are strikingly similar to the Yorkshire countryside of my English youth. It is beautiful farmland and forest, bordered by the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Range. I love my adopted home and hope you can see that in the way I express it on paper.
I had been drawn (heh, heh), to pencil since my art school days loving the way pencil reduces the subject to shape and light which color often masks. I had been enjoying the challenge of pencil for some time, whilst owning Storyboards Inc, one of the countries largest storyboard artist representation companies, representing over 50 extremely talented artists.
So, after selling my company I wanted to explore the challenge of pastels, and am revelling in a whole new world of color.
