I am a self taught artist living in Shrewsbury, Shropshire and I have a passion for creating detailed wildlife images. My medium however, is a little unusual.

 I have developed my own technique in the medium of Fumage. This is a medium whereby an artist uses the smoke from a lit candle to deposit soot on canvas or paper and create images from the soot using various tools. As soon as I started using this medium, I instantly fell in love with it and believe I create beautiful and unique wildlife portraits. 

My fumage technique enables me to create detailed images from the fragile smoke deposit using tools such as sponges and feathers for texture and form. The natural shades of the smoke and occasional scorch on the paper creates fabulous natural texture and depth.

I exhibit locally in Shropshire and would love to show my work and demonstrate my technique in this medium to a wider audience.

I undertake commission and would welcome contact by email or through social media.
