Art Critic 3

Someone once criticised my work for not being "abstract". My response was to paint the series: Art Critic 1, 2, 3 & 4. To keep everyone happy this and the other "Art Critics" are a meld of abstract, pop art and realism. So there. This is a very colourful, bright and happy work despite the pug's expression. Almost entirely acrylic, there is a small amount of gilt applied randomly to the abstract work in the background. The work has been varnished to a low gloss. It's partner Art Critic 4 is also for sale.

I am mostly self taught. For years I worked solely by commission but realised this was holding back my creativity. I still take occasional commissions but now produce works from my heart and imagination.

My preferred subjects are our native Australian animals, farming life and whatever takes my fancy! I diverge between absolute realism and whimsical cartoonish works depending on my mood on the day. Some works take half a day, some more than three weeks to complete.

My paintings are held in public and private collections in Australia, the USA, Canada, the UK and Saudi Arabia. The TAB commissioned a painting as a gift to their equivalents worldwide. Other works have featured on the front cover of Australian publications including Australian Artist magazine, the Arabian Horse News and the Animal Welfare League.

A book "Captured in Time" by Gigi Grasso is a sold out limited edition book of Arabian Horses in Australia. This work is liberally illustrated by me.
I exhibit works intermittently and have won many firsts, most successful exhibitor, and peoples choice awards.
