How did you get started and what motivated you to start?
I started out developing my own art business after working in a print business, when I saw the client's need for original drawings of buildings, logo designs, etc.
Which item do you have the most fun making or what do you have the most fun painting?
For the past couple of "covid" years when galleries were closed and art shows non-existent, I returned to my first love of pen & ink drawings and started doing pet portraits, which I now thoroughly enjoy doing.

Where do you work on your creations?
I work out of my home studio/office.
How do you occupy your mind while working?
As I am very much a realist artist, that needs a lot of precise details I concentrate better when my surroundings are calm and quiet.
Do you work regularly or only when you're inspired to work?
I work every weekday and it's not always creating art as there are business details to be kept up to date too.

Giving a price estimate for the artwork requested by the client.

So many favourites to pick one. Each pet portrait I do brings so much pleasure to me and the pet owner.
