A matchbox model of a Porsche 930 Turbo gifted to me as a 6 year old boy ignited my life long passion for cars. The Bond cars, KITT in Knight Rider, the Ferrari Testarossa in Miami Vice - they kept the fire burning. And then the obsession with classics was kicked off with the purchase of a very rusty Lancia Fulvia off ebay. A succession of classics have followed, and a deepening love of their history and design led me to pursue a career as a full time automotive artist.
After a 25 year professional career, I decided to pursue my passions for art and all things automotive by taking up the brushes and painting cars full time, following in the footsteps of my grandfather, a successful professional portrait painter.
My art
Focussing on Porsche, but with a love of many classics, including Jaguar, Lister, Alfa Romeo and Lancia, I generally work on a large scale (1m x 1m and larger) in acrylic on canvas. I look for interesting angles, reflections and moments, to emphasise particular design features and create art that is visually impactful and true to the subject.
I also have a passion for depicting historic motor racing and have attended Goodwood events for many years.
I am a member of the Guild of Motoring Artists: www.motoringartists.com
