“Fantasy and science fiction art and literature have been inspiring me since I was a young boy. Tales of magical worlds inhabited by fantastic creatures kept me reading late into many a youthful night. The incredible imagery of those genres  remains to me both thrilling and compelling. After several years following other paths I am not too surprised that I have ended up where I am, with brush in hand, attempting to make a place for myself amongst the 'legion extraordinaire' of gifted artists who have leant their skills and vision to the fleshing out of worlds hitherto unimagined, populated by peoples yet unmet.”
