“Skyline”, 200cm x 40cm. Acrylic on canvas, mixed media. Hand painted base layer, with screenprinted landscape across the piece. No matter what other light source is involved, there really needs to be UV included for it to be truly appreciated. As a result, I’ve not chosen this as my submission for the Manchester Open. It’s …
Acrylic on canvas, polyptych – 70cm (max) x 70cm (max). UV fluorescent colour and glow in abundance! I careted this piece during Pride Month 2022. Sadly the glow isn’t very easy to photograph. Although all of the panels do glow, the darker panels remain quite dim. This was a fun piece to create, from the …

The moon in the centre also phases in and out of visibility …
Acrylic on Canvas, 300×900. The third rose for my UV wall, to join “Mackintosh Rose” and “Powder Rose” – completing the set. The top two panels mirror “Twin Roses #2”, and were painted at the same time – technically making these triplets. The differences being the size of the panels (the top two panels would …
Acrylic and UV on Canvas, 250×450. My second set of “Twins”, painted at the same time with the same pigments and techniques. This makes use of specialist metallic paints for the leaves (thanks, L), and the internal frame of the rose. I’ve also used some iridescents for the framework. Technically, this is a triplet – …
