I have been working with gold & silver leaf mixed with button polish and acrylics since 2004. The technique used in laying the leaf often results in unexpected textures and shapes which help form the development of the pictures. All these works are on a base of plywood, roughly primed then sanded allowing areas of wood to remain for depth and character. They begin with a figurative image or theme and variously develop to abstracted form, pattern and shape.

I have some recent work available for sale and also take on commissions.
