Thank you for asking about my practice.

I graduated from the University of Portsmouth 1999 with a First       Class Honours (1:1) Degree in Art with a specialisation in Three     Dimensional Design. I now refer to myself as a Digital Landscape  Artist offering unique originals & prints. The process I use to create art is a little unconventional, using   tools and techniques appropriated from animation & product design:

I often start by photographing or sketching objects or buildings, mostly from around the Isle of Wight, my home. I then construct minimalist, 3D models of the subject in a landscape and place lighting and camera, experimenting with various sets to create, what I consider to be uniquely evocative shapes and forms. I pay particular attention to capture, what I believe to be, that quintessential ‘experience’ of light. Once happy with a set I will render a very high resolution image (4k or above) and then export to other layering software. I spend some time experimenting with various layers adding brush and pencil work to the final piece.

The essence is to not over complicate.
