Hi there , this is my new website which is being populated at the moment .
I am bringing a whole bunch of my work to one place , that will take a while to achieve so check back now and then for new information. Thank you .
The image at the top is one of my paintings, a real close up of the surface or Jupiter's moon Europa. This icy moon was one of the four discovered by Galileo in 1610 in his tiny telescope. In 1995 an unmanned spacecraft called Galileo took wonderful images of Europa , this painting is inspired by those images.
The surfaces of moons and planets are a visual dream , inspiring many of my canvases . Sections of distant planetary surfaces would not be out of place as works of art hanging in a gallery. I am driven to share the wonders of the Universe we move through on canvas and by direct public engagement.
Below are a few images showing the progression of this painting over the course of several months.
Acrylics and conte on canvas 47X20 inches
This painting is based on an image of the Conamara Chaos region of the surface of Europa. The original image was taken by the Galileo spacecraft. This painting is highly textured.
