"From intricate paper silhouettes,
painstakingly cut by hand using a
surgical scalpel, to fast and
furiously painted portraits and
landscapes
in brilliant, dramatic colours, my
artwork spans a vast spectrum
between precision and free-flowing
energy."

cutting mat, and good lighting. Photograph by

silhouette paper-cut to show the
freehand sketch on the reverse.
(Below) The same paper-cut is now
shown in stark silhouetted shadow
so that the sketch is no longer
visible.
