Statement
In my paintings I try to connect the past and the present, thereby seeking perspective and insight into our own world. History has always had this grounding feature; it helps to make us see the bigger picture and takes away the seeming randomness of events. A sense of order and belonging is what we seek when we study and ‘create’ our own historic narrative.
Shipping
I can ship to anywhere in the world using the usual couriers (Fedex, DPD, Parcelforce, etc).
For sending large oil paintings (usually over 1m) abroad, I will have to take the painting off its stretcher bars, roll it up and post it to you in a postal tube (unless you are happy with very high shipping costs). You will then have to arrange for the piece to be stretched and framed yourself at a reputable framer.
Large pieces within the UK can be delivered by Aardvark Art Couriers at cost.
Framed and glazed (pastel) pieces are too fragile to ship abroad so I will either ship with plexiglass (please replace with normal glass asap to avoid damaging the pastel painting) or unframed. Please enquire about details and cost.
