The moment of true love’s kiss (aww!) as the beast starts to fade away. Acrylic painting commissioned as the design for a theatre poster and programme cover. The programme won the NODA East Award for Best Standard Programme in May 2019. Made two great friends pose this and transformed them into Belle and the Beast.

A selection of more figurative work with drawings and paintings in different media. From acrylic ink and soft pastel drawings to watercolour and printing. No apologies for getting carried away with expressive mark making rather than precision drawing! Thanks to Trevor Osborne for getting an abstract expressionist to draw animals.
