As a child I was very ill with chronic Asthma. Believe it or not I died 3 times before my fifth birthday.

As I spent a lot of time alone, I either read books or drew pictures. At that time I mainly drew Disney characters from books I was given as a child.

As I grew up my drawing lapsed. That is until my daughter showed an aptitude for drawing. To encourage her, I picked up a pencil again. This was about 15 years ago.

If you would like me to create an oil portrait for you, please get in touch.
