I was born (1962) and raised in Best.As a 17-year-old in my spare time I started painting, enthused by my oldest brother, also self-taught. I often painted on commission: natural landscapes and “parental houses". After a "sabbatical" of more than 30 years, I have it painting picked up again, still largely self-taught and I am me focus on realistic fine painting. I often get my inspiration from nature, in which I often with my border collie or as a fly fisherman. I photograph my subjects myself as much as possible, landscapes and you will often see the sea as the subject of my paintings.
