Southaustralian Artist Hoodies

There is nothing worse than being put in a box! How confining! . I'm a tonal realist portrait painter! It IS a VERY specific genre! There is NOTHING like an original painted work!!! These are portraits which tell the story of the person in the painting the origials will last 100s of years... It’s my favourite thing to make because its also the most fun for the person in the portrait! My original commissioned works are in Corporate and Private collections, Aust, USA, Hong Kong, these are not, or will EVER be prints online!! I also like to make other works here is a selection.
