Framing advice

This is a standard size (8” x 10”), and you can find affordable off-the-shelf frames if you prefer to frame it yourself. I can arrange professional framing similar to that shown here for $250, which is about the same as you would pay plus the extra packaging and shipping costs. For more details, see my framing advice.

About this collection

We’re used to seeing what’s solid, not the light that hits it. My aim is to create just enough light for our minds to picture what it illuminates. There is no way to remove paint marks, so these are an exercise in restraint and stopping before I’m ‘done’.

Why men? The female muse is everywhere, from renaissance to pop art. But there is beauty and interest in men’s faces too, and subverting the trope is fun. There is diversity, too, with men of Asian, Pacific Islander, African and other heritages.

These pieces use repurposed materials. This one is painted on very fine sandpaper, courtesy of Canberra’s waste recovery centre The Green Shed. It has a rich matte velvety texture.

Light and Men portraits are my most affordable original artworks. While I personally like (and buy) fine art prints to enjoy art that I couldn’t otherwise afford, there is still something special about an original. I’d like to give more people the opportunity to have one of their own.
