Welcome & Introduction


Hello, and welcome to my fine art blog.

My father is an accomplished traditional Chinese artist and I grew up surrounded by some of the most respected artists in my region, so it is no surprise really that I developed an interest and skill in fine art painting from an early age.

At college and university I studied graphic design and fine art. Nowadays of course everything is done by computer, but I first started studying in the days before computers were widespread so everything was done manually by using artistic 'hand and eye' skills - packaging design, posters, advertising leaflets, logos, sign writing - all done by hand. And all these skills and styles I could adapt and use in my fine art painting. Later I was able to study up-to-date computer techniques.

My favourite mediums have always been watercolour and gouache. At the moment I'm very interested in pencil work and acrylic however, and these are the two mediums I use most in my current art work.

Having had a couple of enforced breaks in recent years due to career, family, and suchlike, I am excited to be now regularly painting again. I want to use my art skill commercially and my vision is to provide high quality fine art work at affordable prices. I hope you enjoy my blog and the pictures of my artwork.
