Thank you for visiting my site, I hope that you find something that you like,
I have tried to cover the subjects opposit as well as I can, I also hope to
give you value for your money. My work is drawn from two cultures, one the
culture of my birth, which is English, and the second from the culture that I
now live in,which is Chinese. I have made my home here in China, where I have
lived since 2004, in the northern City of Anshan, in Liaoning Province.
My studio is the centre of Anshan, on the 22nd floor of a new developement,
where I have a wonderful veiw of the city.
My work is not ultra realistic, as I feel that artist must allow the
veiwer to partake in the illusion, I have no wish to take the place of the
camera. Just like a good book, the interest to the reader is unraveling the
plot, a painting must interest the veiwer, allowing them to become part of
the painting , transporting them to the tranquility of their inner mind,
away from the trials and tribulations of everyday life . Allowing them to
relax with their inner most feelings.
I hope you enjoy your visit to my world my art work. Relax and enjoy
your visit,
have a great day.
