I Have a small but growing collection of skulls. The winter sun was strong recently and I took these shots. The sun really emphasises the contours and shadows.

Original artwork makes a touching and unusual gift.
I can create drawings to your specification. You may want a portrait of your pet, or a one off image of a flower. Perhaps your house or business premises would make a beautiful image? Is there a particular animal or place you are connected to? Perhaps there is a character or creature from history mythology or fiction you would like to own a unique image of?
A few ideas; I could create a papercut of the church for a newlywed couple. Perhaps that scruffy photo of dad’s first car would become a beautiful framed drawing. does your aunt have a favourite summer flower? A framed picture of it could make her smile all year round. Maybe a portrait of your favourite furry friend. I love to draw dragons and fantasy creatures, so together we can bring your imagination to life.
I like to spend time chatting to clients to find out exactly what would suit. Then I will take or borrow photographs to complete initial sketches and a final piece. This will be mounted and framed to your specifications.
Prices vary…contact me with your budget and we can chat about it.

Mounting your pictures
A well chosen mount can make a huge difference to the look and feel of your cherished pictures.
Even the simplest snap can really come to life when it’s presented at it’s best.
I can mount your pictures for you – (and maybe frame them too) choose the size, design and colours you prefer and I will give your art a suitable setting.
