The work in this gallery is acrylic based. The paintings are shown in reverse chronological order – the most recent paintings are at the top. In the last few years I’ve been spending more time exploring abstraction, although, I still like realism and I will be doing more in the future.
Gallery 1: These pieces are based on paintings I’ve dreamt I’ve painted. Many of themĀ are highly textured, some have carved elements.
