It came to my notice at an early age that painting and drawing are how I would communicate to the world at large. My early background was a shattered home where my obsession with painting and drawing helped me to ride things over.

Art is a powerful tool. I can express myself widely with my artwork and get my messages out.

At 10 years old, I was doing surrealistic drawings, life-like portraits, and going outdoors on my own doing plein-air townscapes.

Later, after a 5-year escapade in a colonial African country called Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and 2 years of searching for a life in continental Europe, I decided to finally answer my calling and take the plunge for real.

I like to paint people and their unfathomable beings, and this is why portraiture has been my dominant theme.

Landscapes offer me a chance to recreate beautiful, vast, interesting spaces with an accent on perspective and lively atmospheres.

Motion itself is something that I explore mostly in my ongoing series of dance paintings.

My work is an absolutely unique blend of Scottish romanticism and mysticism, African primitivism, and European impressionism, peppered with American realism.

But the whole range of artistic techniques fascinates and motivates me, so my art is always changing and hard to pin down or categorise. My unique technical versatility allows me to express myself with various techniques.  This, of course, makes it hard for art galleries to accept my work since they are usually looking for a coherent body of work.

Some say my portraits and figure studies have an inner life, that my landscapes are lively and inviting, and that my art has a “lightness” about it, a certain "poetry."

More paintings;

A journey from station to station. I started off as a surrealist, worshipping Dali.

Then I took a ride with impressionism after a short stopover at Warhol's pop art parade.

Monet was my light for many a year, and I still travel with Hopper, and I visited the old masters on the way.

Now I just do myself

I'm not doing the hype thing, so I just paint my beautiful stuff without a manifesto.

Let my lively landscapes deliver you into another time-space continuum.

My sensual paintings of women will entice you, and my portraits will fascinate you.

These works will enhance the quality of your home or space and make your world more interesting.

Invest in my art—and want more.

So, what is art?

I think that anyone will agree that art is a form of communication. You and I talk to each other by using words and languages.

Paintings are a visual form of communication that simply represent what the artist thinks or wants you to think about an image. This is his or her message.

And what then is the difference between a random photograph and a painting? Well, the painting has changed things around to give them a sense of quality. The elements have been qualified.

That's about it.
