Q. 1. When
you do original art, what was the motivation?
I
started doing Artwork in earnest as a form of therapy during a long period of
ill health where I was looking for a creative outlet to help in my recovery. I
got totally hooked on mixing paint and thinking about how to harmonize shapes,
lines and colours to create original work.
Q. 2. Has your commission work helped your original material?
 |
| Abstract |
Yes,
the detailed portraits I have done for the past 10 years or so have really
helped hone my skills as a draughtsman and also provided me with an income to
plough back into my own more exciting projects.
Q. 3. How do you feel presenting your work to a customer for the first time?
In the early years I was terrified due to my perfectionist streak. One word of criticism would crush me. Nowadays I enjoy presenting an artwork to a client as their reaction is likely to be really postitive which makes all the hours at the drawing board worthwhile.
Q. 4. What was the biggest mile post in your career so far? (exhibition, commission etc)

Unfortunately
I am yet to make a really significant breakthrough in the Artworld that I could
count as a milepost as such. However all the effort I have put into my career
so far is resulting in my style becoming more commercial so that the chance of
earning a decent living from my passion is getting closer by the day!
