Commercial Art
Whilst a lot of my artwork has been for the theatre world having the ability to create paintings at a large scale with precise image reproduction in any style has many applications.. During my 21 years working in London I worked on a variety of commercial projects from Exhibitions at the V& A Museum, Decorex, many mural works including working at Cliveden and Selfridges window displays.
Each project relies upon the understanding and communication built up with a client to ensure that the brief is comprehended and met within a deadline and to the satisfaction of the client.. Over the years I have worked in every style imaginable from creating abstract artwork pieces with only a moodboard as reference to very detailed specifications such as the Tiepolo style panels and tapestries below . I can work in acrylics or oils and on whatever surface is required eg canvas, MDF, plasterwork.
As an example the reference for the Selfridges Christmas window displays see below was a new illustrated children’s book that was being promoted and the brief was to make 12 different scenes of varied colour ways with the same structural elements in exactly the same watercolour style
