JDPART

Have been a painter and photographer since my teens. My photography took precedence for a while but I returned to my first love of painting about 12 years ago. I'm a realist painter, and often use my own "set piece" photographs in my work. Also a lover of traditional methods of painting, and use pigments to create my own oils, and enjoy "glazing" to build up textures, particularly with skin. In recent years, my work has been exhibited in various galleries, and was selected for the last Cork Street open. I live in Worthing, overlooking the sea with my wife and dog, and admit to being an obsessive about my work.
Have in the past had work selected for the NZ Academy of Fine Art.
