Artist Statement

I have been painting on and off for many years. I’ve always loved to paint any subject and my preferred medium is oils.  I’ve been a member of the St. George Art Society for a few years, thanks to Jim West, – a great ambassador for the society.

I’m a volunteer with a wonderful charity called ‘Free the bears’ and donate anything I might make from my paintings to the charity which is doing it tough in these hard Covid times.
