Artist Bio
I was born and live in Wiltshire and I am a self-taught amateur Scratchboard artist. I love the dramatic effect you can create with the light and dark, as well as the fine detail, by using tattoo needles and a scalpel. By varying the amount of surface area I scratch, I can alter the texture and tonal values of the picture.
My passion is creating detailed work of animals. I have recently received recognition in an international exhibition with my Piece “Strike the Pose”.
