"I was born in Liverpool, & have lived in Widnes, Cheshire, England
for over 20 years
 
….the pictures represented here are part of an ongoing series of unique pen & ink drawings  that are an attempt to portray the many faces, sometimes through the changing years,  of various musicians & singers who have influenced & inspired so many…...including, of course, the ever popular Beatles!
 
….the majority of these drawings are done using a 'stippling' or 'pointillism' technique; thousands of ink dots creating a sense of depth and realism. Many also incorporate the words of songs providing the depth and tone of the portrait in a highly original manner.  Using commercially available drawing pens, this method,  whilst infinitely rewarding, requires extreme patience and discipline!
 
“though time consuming - over 6 months in some cases - each drawing takes on its own challenge as there is never a preconceived end result so, in effect, the picture defines itself!!”
 
….these highly acclaimed pictures/drawings have been exhibited all over Cheshire, North Wales, the Midlands & the North West of England.......
 
"...my aim is to create a work that satisfies on 2 levels; compositions with impact as well as, on closer inspection, a world of detail that invites the viewer
to linger awhile!!“

"...I feel art should serve to remind us of the universal inter-relation of all things, of unity and harmony eg. the relationship between the artist,
the pen and the viewer!"
