About

I have worked as a picture restorer for 40 years, specialising in Russian and Greek icons. I have also created my own artworks over the years and I am still fascinated by the idea of the “successful picture” in these times when much art has become dematerialised. I am interested in British landscape and also find inspiration in Russian Constructivism.

I tend to work in egg tempera, the traditional medium for icons. This involves using dry pigments in a binder of 50/50 egg yolk and water. The supports I use are mainly board, MDF, or timber such as old floorboards. All are prepared the traditional way with gesso made with chalk whiting and rabbit skin glue.

Works are for sale and are generally in the region of £200 to £400. I make or arrange frames for most works as required, so they are ready to hang.
