Welcome to my website.

There is a revival of true art around the world today and I am glad to be playing a small part. This website is designed not just to show off my work but to act in a small way as a forum for people who, like me, are fed up with the modernist rubbish we have been told to like and want a return to the traditional values of art. Beauty, compassion and depth of feeling conveyed by means of solid draftmanship and good technique.

Please look around the galleries, peruse my latest ramblings on the News page, and feel free to tell me what you think of it all, good or bad. All serious e-mails will be answered.

Finally,if you are a fellow realist artist feel free to get in touch to share opinions and experiences. It is time for all those who love real art, but particularly those who make it, to unite, Only by working together can artists reclaim art, which is the duty of us all. As William Morris once wrote: "Meanwhile if these hours be dark, as indeed, in many ways they are, at least do not let us sit deedless, like fools and fine gentlemen, thinking the common toil not good enough for us and beaten by the muddle, but rather let us work like good fellows trying by some dim candle-light to set our workshop ready against tomorrow's daylight- that tomorrow, when the civilised world... shall have a new art, a glorious art...as a happiness to the maker and the user"
