I draw people as they are when they are not posing.

Bristol-based pencil artist working exclusively in graphite and charcoal on Fabriano paper. No digital touch-up. I work from natural window light, building tone in thin layers. Each portrait is 30-80 hours of quiet looking.

Exhibited: Royal West Academy, Mall Galleries London. Clients: private collectors in UK, US, Germany. Press: The Guardian Weekend, Artists & Illustrators.
