Dordogne, Le Chambellan – Le Coux et Bigaroque
A few summers spent in the strikingly beautiful Dordogne region have been a great source of inspiration for me: from the rivers meandering through the valleys, to sandstone villages and bustling markets, to bastides towering above precipitous cliffs: all seemingly untouched by time.

About The Artist
I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, graduating from Rhodes University with a BA degree in Fine Art (Painting) in 1990, having been fortunate enough to study under George Coutouvidis. In 1995, we moved to England, and after many years in formal employment, I resumed painting full-time.
I paint a wide range of subjects, enjoying landscapes the most. Drawing inspiration from nature, I am especially interested in the influence of light. Capturing mood and atmosphere through establishing a sense of place; use of tone, colour, texture and line, elements intrinsic to painting, are what I strive to achieve in my work. Primarily using oils on canvas, I enjoy working in other mediums as well.
The English Romantic painters Constable and Turner, as well as the French Impressionists, Monet and Pissarro, are key influences in my work.
For the last few years, I have been working on a series of South African landscapes and coastal scenes; British landscapes; Italian scenes of Venice and Tuscany; French landscapes and rural villages in the Dordogne region; as well as “London by Night”, a series of black and white paintings based on the evocative photos of London in 1920-1930s, taken by Francis Sandwith.
I welcome commissions and would be delighted to discuss the details of your requirements.
