Much of my work comprises custom “essence portraits.” I interview or study people / organisations then depict them in surreal arrays of images, colours and textures.
Being seen and acknowledged in a piece of original fine art is a uniquely touching, profound experience for most people. Clients report the process to be "deeply fulfilling", "insightful," and an "incredible gift for yourself or a loved one."

Commissioned by Mr Bradley Fox.
Brad is man of the mountains, rivers and forests of British Columbia. He's most at home when fly fishing in a pristine river, and evening sunsets and campfire circles bring him joy and the day's full vigour. He has a deep connection with the feathered ones, especially the hawk and raven. His totems, the cougar and the hawk, speak to his fondness for quietude, loyalty to his tribe and business sense - he is a keen 'hunter', a sensitive soul and a dear friend. Brad thinks deeply about life, philosophy and what lies beyond...

Commissioned by Dr Jillian Deri.
Jillian is an incredible woman: brilliant, kind, strong and beautiful. She is elegant and creative, often adorned in gorgeous fur and lace-trimmed treasures of her own creation. Both a social creature and an introvert, between dance parties and gatherings with dear friends, she is most at home in quiet of the forest and finds solace in crafting and playing in the depths of her imagination. She is inspired by the resplendent geometries and fractal elements of nature, inherent in moss, trees, the honeycomb and the nautilus. She is also a published author and holds a PhD in social psychology, achievements that speak both to her passion for life and the depth of her shining brilliance. You can just see it in her eyes...

Commissioned by Dr Evangelos Papoutsis, DDS (Naturopathic Dentist), Sunshine Coast, BC.
A truly gifted healer in so much more than dentistry, Dr Evangelos gives all of himself to everything he does. He carries deep wisdom and skills in many healing modalities, and treats his patients friends, family and everyone he meets with the utmost care and attention. His healing hands and kind heart have earned their impeccable reputation.
vangelos is the most generous person I've ever met - an angel on earth, he is also a fiery Aries and full of Greek passion! He at once gentle, kind and compassionate, and a warrior at heart: strong, determined and focused. Like a Pheonix from flames, he has reinvented himself many times over, listening to the stars, the symbols, the signs, the Divine... He thrives in warm climes and radiates a similar warmth from the depth of his being.
