I am a portrait artist based in Perth, Western Australia. My medium of choice is pastel on paper, a tactile and expressive tool that allows me to blend, layer, and bring life to my subjects. Whether I’m working from an old black-and-white photograph or a modern color image taken on a smartphone, I strive to reveal the essence of the person, pet, or scene before me.
Living in Perth, I am often drawn to the natural beauty of my surroundings, which influences the backgrounds and settings in my work. I also explore the web for intriguing backgrounds, particularly when crafting my fantasy portraits. From weddings to beloved pets, from couples and family portraits to wild animals, my work spans a wide range of subjects. I invite you to visit my gallery and experience examples of the diversity and detail of my work for yourself.
