Green Tara
Oil on Canvas
80 x 100cm
This was an absolute joy to paint! Green Tara brings comfort and compassion to those who require help and every brushstroke felt meaningful and purposeful! The hand gestures (mudras), flowers and adornments are all symbolic and I have added 24 carat gold leaf to Tara's crown to emphasise her importance and status. We have placed our Green Tara print in the garden and she is just beautiful sat amongst the garden flowers!

Nina Simone
Oil on Canvas
120 x 100cm
Nina Simone pure and unadorned emphasising her raw strength and natural beauty. Using oil bars gives a rich intensity of colours and I really enjoy the tactile experience of sculpting the features and skin with the bars and blending with a soft cloth.

Nina Simone with Dragonfly Broach
Oil on Canvas
120 x 100 x 3cm
I have used oil bars to layer greens, coppers and shades of Raw Umber and Burnt Sienna to build, what I feel, depicts the strength and determination that Nina Simone portrayed in her life and through her songs. The Birdcage ear ring and Dragonfly broach symbolise her quest for freedom for herself and her fight for racial equality and I have placed her in front of an African patterned background to symbolise her roots. When hung at eye level, the colour combinations intensify or soften in different lights and I find that this produces a subtle change in her expression too!

Jimi Hendrix
Oil on Canvas
120 x 100 x 4.5cm
My main objective in this portrait of Jimi Hendrix, was to capture the energy, excitement and pulsing vibrations of electric sound that he generated through his playing. I have used rich tones of warm reds, oranges and soft yellows to provide the heat and sharp electric blues to add the spark. Close inspection will reveal an impasto of swirls creating Jimi's iconic hair style that then spin off into fractal patterns to create movement.

Love Birds
Oil on Canvas
120 x 100cm
One of the great things about being an artist is the opportunity to paint your dreams and here is my dream of romantic escapism! I admire the art and culture of India, I love the scent and freshness of an orange grove and can't think of anything more romantic than showing off my beautiful wife whilst riding an elephant adorned with rich Indian patterns.

BIllie Holiday
Oil on canvas
120 x100 x 3cm
I have portrayed Billie as the style icon she was with Gardenia in her coiffed hair and perfect make up. Knowing Billie Holiday's back story, makes this painting more poignant as the audacity of a female black person to flaunt wealth and style was publicly vocalised at the time but Billie Holiday didn't care. The flowers in Billie's hair belie the harshness of her chaotic life, we see their beauty whilst not recognising what they have endured. £1500

John Lee Hooker
Acrylic on Canvas
100 x 80cm
Everything is immense and monumental about this painting. I wanted to almost sculpt this icon of the Blues and I have filled the canvas with his presence. He sits, like a god and oozes coolness.

Golden Buddha
Oil on Canvas
100 x 80 x 4cm
My Golden Buddha is layered with copper, pinks and gold tones that reveal themselves in different light and the serene face shimmers and reflects the surrounding foliage with calmness and contentment. This Buddha emerges from natural fractal patterns found in nature that represent re-growth and the cycle of life.
I have used oil bars and oil paint on top quality linen canvas stretched over a bevel frame. The canvas sides are painted and the canvas can be hung without the need for framing. £1500

Poppies
Oil on Canvas
100 x 80cm
This painting is full of contrasts from colours to coolness and warmth, wildness to cultivation and fragility to strength. The red to green combination creates a three dimensional depth of coolness (enhanced if you view through 3D cinema glasses!) against the sizzling golden yellow sky.

Ox Eye Daisies
120 x 100 x 4cm
Oil on Canvas
The daisy painting attempts to capture that perfect Summer's day with a 'lying in the meadow' point of view. sometimes the simplest of compositions provide the most dramatic effects and I think the natural elegance of the daisies against the clear blue sky evoke a sense of freedom and stillness.

Ravi Shankar
Oil on Canvas
60 x 80cm
A classical style painting of a classical sitarist. I enjoyed working on the details and contrasting textures of the cloth and the sitar. Ravi's posture and look of concentration give this painting a sense of calmness and I love to study the painting whilst listening to some of his beautiful music.

Biggie Smalls
Oil on Canvas Board
40x x 30 cm
King of Rap and an icon for many young people, I have painted The Notorious B.I.G in playful mode with a party hat at a jaunty angle. The flat rich red gives this painting a regal feel and the shiny paper hat contrasts well with the thick gold necklace

Charles Lloyd
Oil on Canvas
60 x 40 x 3cm
A commissioned painting of Jazz Saxophonist Charles Lloyd wearing one of his infamous hats. I have tried to capture the concentration and meaningful effort Charles Lloyd puts into every note he plays. The painting is a classical style portrait of one of the Jazz greats in a light contemporary style.
