There is something special about owning a work of art that has been made by hand rather than simply reproduced. each COMMISSIONED copy is painted or drawn individually, with careful attention given to the materials ,PREPARATION, techniques and character of the original. wherever possible i seek to understand not only how a work was made but the qualities the artist intended it to possess ; the handling of the paint, the texture of the surface , the subtle variations of colour and the marks left by hand.the result is not a print or mechanical reproduction, but a unique hand crafted interpretation made with patience care and respect for the original.
