I have always loved art.  It was my focus in high school, it was all I did.  A few weeks before graduating I asked my art teacher, “So what do I do now to make money as an artist?”  “You don’t,” he said.  Fast forward a few decades ( ok more than a few ) I found myself with a long history of being self-employed as a Visual Artist.  The one thing I had not tried to make a living at was painting.  That crushing day in high school had always left me believing it was impossible.  I had just sold my first E-Commerce business and had enough to live off of for a year.  So I gave myself one year to make it work.  One year to become a watercolour painter AND to support myself doing it.  Not only did I succeed, but I also opened a gallery and art store and started teaching watercolour to others.  Today my artwork is sold all over the world and my classes are available right here on my website!

I did everything I could to learn, I even went so far as to learn to make my own paint which I turned into another E-commerce business and eventually sold.  When I went to bed it was what I was thinking about, when I woke it was what I was thinking about.  I lived and breathed watercolour painting.

My style has evolved over the years.  When I was a child I taught myself how to draw by copying Robert Batemen’s paintings out of my parent’s coffee table book. I have been drawn to wildlife ever since.  My goal is to create a powerful portrait of the animal or bird, one that reaches out and grabs hold of the viewer.

Art Prints

Not everyone can afford or wants to spend a lot of money on original artwork.  Maybe you know someone that has an appreciation for watercolor painting or a particular type of bird or animal.  These affordable art prints will last for generations, are sized to fit off-the-shelf frames and ship FREE to your door.  What more could you ask for?  Most important to me is the inspiration I get when someone purchases a piece of my artwork.  It really means the world to me and I can not thank you enough for your support.
