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. You can
now access a pdf file of my article on Pre-Raphaelite frames
there.
The latest picture frame conference,The Transforming
Power of the Frame, was held in New York in September (see
Frame
Conference 08 ). For the previous conference,
held in Dresden in October 2005, go to this link:
Frame Conference 05, and for a report
on the papers given, see the National
Portrait Gallery website. For the current
exhibition on frames in Vienna, go to the
Liechtenstein Museum , and for the one in Copenhagen
see either the Statens
Museum for Kunst , or the notice in
Artdaily.org .
For Paul Levi, see
Memorial.
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 came second in the
Envoi International Competition 2008,
and have just won the
2009 Listowel Writers' Week Poetry Collection competition.
