My Originals hang all over the world; from the private collections in Hollywood homes and offices in London to my local gallery and homes all over Britain. Now to reach as wide an audience as possible, to increase the value of the originals and allow everyone to enjoy my art I have decided to sell prints of my paintings.

Some history about myself:
I was born in 1972 in Portsmouth England. I grew up in Wallingford, a small town in Oxfordshire, England. My Mother a local artist ran an art shop and gallery in the town, and I was always surrounded by art and artists. I was a sickly child and spent much time away from school, I spent much of that time painting and drawing. I studied at Bournemouth and Poole Art Collage for a few of years. But learnt nothing of any use. After which I became withdrawn and quite unwell. I lived alone, not seeing anyone for weeks at a time. Spending all my spare cash on paint and canvas. Painting my way out of my darkness, and teaching myself new ways to approach my art. Now many years later, with the support of my girlfriend I paint everyday I can and sell it too.
Best Regards Samuel Durkin

First print of the year sold

Great Start to the year. My depression and mania is finally starting to settle down and I sold 6 paintings last week. The cherry on the cake is the sale of a card here on redbubble.

Merry Winter Solstice.

The darkness will soon give way to the life giving sun.
