I specialize in figurative charcoal drawing. My work was recently shown and sold at the Saatchi Gallery in London. Current works delve into the realm of symbolism and magic realism.
All of my drawings are meant to be noble representations of individual subjects, and also bring together a wealth of influences, recognition of art history and myth and a contemporary attitude to create images that are of the moment, but hopefully will also remain relevant in the future.

    wonderously presented storm colours in the sky & sea contrasted and complimenting the vivid greens. (should be another sale soon!)

    I walked the Dingle Way (only the best bit) and a forbidding view that must have sent a chill down the backs of the inhabitants embarking on the crossing.

  • I know exactly what you’re saying LD. Edge of the world, literally. I so would love to return!
