Hi, I'm an Artist based in North Wales, I like to paint in oils. After studying Architecture in Bristol UWE I began to document the built and natural environment, focusing on the architectural and social context of the areas I paint.
Original paintings are for sale, if not yet sold. Limited timber mounted canvas prints are available for most paintings. I will take on commissions too. If you have any queries please inbox me in contact.
I hope you enjoy the website
The Golden Gate, as it is called in Christian literature, is the only eastern gate of the Temple Mount and one of only two that used to offer access into the city from that side. It has been walled up since medieval times. According to Jewish tradition, the Shekhinah (Divine Presence) used to appear through the eastern gate, and will appear again when the Anointed One (Messiah) comes. A narrow walkway led through a concrete and unkept graveyard, It was surprisingly secluded by this ancient gate. Once I found the location to paint from as I dusted off the wall I noticed an empty bullet casing, this instantly reminded me of the violent history of the city. This influenced my pallet choice to be more sinister and apocalyptic. Further to that while sketching I was being intensely observed from a guard situated on top of the gate.
