This portrait is number 6 in my black and white series. My client wanted a classic black and white painting of her daughter, the two photos show the difference of clear coating. Apart from the reflection in the first photo you can really see how the clear coat brings out the depth of the portrait. This I done all free hand with an airbrush using all white on a black background, then just some black at the end to push the shading back to give it depth.
Who says you cant make a pink skull look evil!! This airbrushing is done with Wicked paint
This a portrait of Pink I painted. Its all airbrushed with “Wicked” paint which is from the Createx range..
The roses were quite challenging !!
The Arty Bra is finished an has been delivered to to Blue Mountains Cancer Help ready for display then to be auctioned. My partner Jen described to me the felling she had when diagnosed with breast cancer was like a butterfly being trapped in a spiders web. this inspired me to create this piece of art. its made of 6mm steel bent and welded together to form a web, the pink paint represents the butterfly caught a dark web.
This is a tattoo I just finished on my daughter. Although tattoos are not for everyone, to me it’s just another form of art.
My partner Jenny recently had a big birthday and I did this painting of her to commemorate the occasion.

I recently completed a commissioned piece of work of the lovely Maddie. Her father had it done as a surprise for her mother and this is the result.

Breast cancer awareness is something that is very close to my heart with many people in my life affected. I have created some of these works as donations.
To me this image represents the feeling of a new beginning. A new attitude towards life for my partner after breast cancer. Jen sees the beauty in everyday. I donated this to a local charity who in turn donated it to The Quest For Life Foundation. This painting now adorns the wall at the Bundanoon retreat where Petrea King and the team welcome with open arms cancer patients and their families just to get away and relax..
