Welcome
to my website. Bienvenida!
I'm an art historian, researching & writing
on the history of picture frames, of all periods from the
14th to 20th century. For details of books and articles on
frames, click on the Publications link on the left.
For details of the last picture frame conference,
held in Dresden in October 2005, go to this link:
NYU
FRAME CONFERENCE , and for a report on
the papers given, see the National
Portrait Gallery website. For the September
2008 conference, see
Initiatives in Art & Culture .
For the current exhibition on frames in Copenhagen, see the
Statens
Museum for Kunst , or the notice in
Artdaily.org .
I'm also an artist, specializing in highly finished coloured
pencil drawings: portraits & caricatures, flower & subject
paintings. I work in oils & acrylic as well, and in watercolour
& pen-&-ink. I have exhibited several times at the
Pastel
Society Annual Exhibition and with the
Society of Botanical Artists .
I take commissions for most types
of artwork: I have designed greetings cards, copied Old Masters,
painted murals, created logos & images for brochures,
& produced all sorts of illustrations. I clean & restore
oil paintings, and have designed three websites in addition
to this one.
I write poetry, have been published
in Outposts and
Agenda , and
have won the odd prize. Most recently I was shortlisted for
the
Frogmore Prize 2007.
