Expressive abstract pieces through to detailed illustrative and realistic work — blending smoke, brushwork and bold elements to create pieces that feel fluid, distinctive and personal. Books whole days so a big piece gets finished in one sit.

Mother Goose, Kensington

35 Stubbs St — green walls, gilt mirrors and room for a long sit. Ink Off Laser is in the same building if your piece needs a cover-up prepped or lightened first.
