Welcome to my Blog

I'm a professional award winning artist from NSW Australia.

I bring your photos to life in paintings that will touch your heart!

A photo freezes a moment while a painting touches hearts.

I paint from photographs but the portraits I create in Pastel and Oil are more than just a copy of your photo.
I will have a likeness but your portrait will be much more colourful,alive and three dimensional than the photo.

You can have me create your own special portrait.
You supply the photos and then you can plan the great unveiling!


I have original animal and landscape artworks available for sale on my website.

I've started this Blog to give you a bit more insight into the creative process behind my portraits and so I can ramble on a bit more about life in general.

Reference photos

A lot of the time the reason a photo is not sharp enough to use is that the original photo has been taken from a  long way away and we have cropped it down to just a head pose. To avoid this problem make sure to take some photos of your pet where you just stand about 2m away and zoom in and just take their face.Those photos will be nice and sharp if you ever want a portrait done ( assuming they are taken in bright light without a flash).
 Don't be put off by all this I have created lovely portraits from blurry photos it's just that with a little planning you can have nice sharp flattering photos that will give a much better portrait.

If you are local I can come and take suitable photos.
