Although he has spent a lifetime pencil sketching as a means of relaxation, it was only during a five year period in Lima, Peru that he decided to use his honed technical skills to delve into the dimensions of colour through oil paints on canvas. His subject matter is varied, but, inspired by the deeply evocative light and colours of South and Central America, there is a distinctly Latin American flavour to many of his paintings. His eye for detail is meticulous and his passion for painting comes through in his works, with every part of the painting addressed with equal care.
