Just finished this hand-painted portrait of a charming family home in Norfolk and I’m thrilled with how it turned out!
There’s something so special about preserving a place that holds so many memories. Whether it’s your first home, forever home or beloved vacation cottage, I’d love to bring its story to life in paint. I’m currently accepting commissions for custom house portraits, each one completely unique and made with care. Take a look at my HOUSE PORTRAITS page or email me to find out more!

I'm so excited to share with you my completed painting!
Featuring the vibrant Pagoda nestled within the serene Oriental Gardens of Norfolk’s downtown waterfront in Freemason Harbour. It's a beautiful building and I think you can tell that I've really enjoyed painting this piece! Details include 2 mallard ducks, 3 golden koi and a cardinal in a pear tree. The original painting and 100 limited edition prints are now available from my website store. Fresh off the easel!
I'm excited to finally reveal my latest painting in acrylic on canvas named 'A Jolly Display'. Featuring the F/A-18 Super Hornets of VFA-103 Squadron, the legendary Jolly Rogers, soaring over NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach. I'm pleased to announce the original painting and 100 limited edition prints are now available from my website store. I'm thrilled to announce some of my original paintings are now in Beach Gallery, Virginia Beach!
The gallery is full of beautiful pieces by national and local artists, and I'm feeling so grateful to be exhibiting here! Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for original, affordable art by local artists! MY NEW YEAR'S CHALLENGE - to paint all the monuments and statues along Virginia Beach Oceanfront!
I've painted a few already, so I thought why not? and there's nothing quite like a January challenge to re-focus my mind after Christmas! Here's a work in progress in watercolor pen and ink, featuring the Law Enforcement Monument on 35th Street. This bronze statue was designed by Paul DiPasquale, who also created the amazing Neptune statue further up the Boardwalk. With a shocking break from tradition, I've decided to paint in the sky... new year, new me? Over the past month, I had the wonderful opportunity to bring to life this beautiful and nostalgic poem written by Robert McMillen.
I really enjoy working on commissions, and this project felt like a true collaboration between Robert and me. It was a rewarding experience, working together as a team to bring all the elements of his imagination to life. I was thrilled to deliver the final piece yesterday, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! My 2025 commission book is now open! If you are interested in a commission, please send me an email for a no obligation quote: [email protected] I'm delighted to be working with First Landing State Park....home of the famous Rainbow Swamps, who will be selling my limited edition prints in their lovely gift shop!
If you can't make it to the park, the original painting and prints (limited to 100 editions only) can be purchased from my website while stocks last! I'm excited to announce my original watercolor painting featuring Station 17 in Sandbridge has been made into 100 limited edition prints.
To support their fantastic work, I will be donating 15% of my profits from the sale of the limited-edition prints to Sandbridge Volunteer Rescue Squad, based in Station 17. Donations to the station provide the funds for ambulances, equipment, and supplies so they can continue to provide timely, quality emergency care to patients free of charge. Prints are available from my website shop. Introducing my latest painting featuring the rainbow swamps in First Landing State Park.
Caused by the oils in the leaves of the cypress trees this natural phenomenon can be witnessed on fresh wintry mornings in the park! Capturing the elongated shadows, the reflections of the trees in the water as well as the kaleidoscope of colors seemed initially daunting. It took a lot of planning, many layers of paint and patience....but I have to say I love the end result! The original painting and 100 limited edition prints are now available from my website shop! I'm very excited to tell you that my Christmas card design, 'Driving Home for Christmas' has made it into the RAF Benevolent Fund shop!
It's an absolute honour to be supporting such a fantastic cause! |
