I work in a variety of media, ranging from detailed pencil drawings to oil paintings. I like to work on projects which reflect my interests and, in particular, my passion for music – especially jazz. I was born in Swansea in 1953 and have pursued my love of figurative painting and drawing since childhood, specialising in figures and portraits. I am a member of the Armed Forces Art Society (AFAS) and I exhibit annually under its auspices at the Mall Galleries in London.
I served in the RAF for 16 years in several locations at home and overseas. While serving in the RAF in Berlin in 1992, I also worked for Oscar-winning production designer, Luciana Arrighi, on a set design for the John Schlesinger film of the Ian MacEwan novel, The Innocent. I finished my RAF career at the British Embassy in Moscow and then I joined the Foreign Office, where I worked in the Diplomatic Service for 10 years before retiring in 2009. I am available for commissions, workshops and tuition. You can see more examples of my work at my website: www.mikesartwork.co.uk
