I went here with a group of friends once, I took a photo and reproduced it.Its a sketch from my ink sketchbook.

This is where I grew up.I lived in the mountain region, for most of my life before I moved into a town. The town I live in now is located near a huge wildlife reserve, and thats were I get my new landscapes from.

An old lime kilin.These were used to make fertiliser for farming, before the introduction of chemical fertilisers. They made lime out of burnt charcoal.They are not used any more.

This is about the stigma associated with mental health problems.A highly experimental sketch on my behalf.I think that these masks repersent the different labels that can be put on these people.

A very experimental work.

A very personal piece.Highly experimental.

This descibes what goes on inside my brain, the scene dipicts a chemical factory.

This is a reproduction study only of a very famous Monet piece. I am not selling this. I learned how to do art according to the traditional methods of studying great masterpieces. I did this in soft pastel,but the origional is done in oil I think.

I did this when I was studying soft pastels. I am no good with this medium so I turned to acrylic painting.

A study I did a long time ago.

I hate being in groups of people.I really have to work hard to socilise with orther people.Nature of my illness.

This is an origional piece I did from my own photo. It is a pen and ink drawing depicting the wild nature of the place.

I did this in responce to reading a book called''Mans Search For Meaning''. The book is about living through world war 2. The main caracter is finding peace although their is war going on all around him. This is my interpretation of the character, although in the book their is no mention of whats happening above.The birds that are flying around are in his mind, thus symbolising that he is at peace with himself.

A landscape that I did about my father while he was alive. He was a sheep farmer and he planted tress on his hill farm.This is done in memory of him as he died from cancer.Its a finished piece and based on sketches I did. Its an acrylic painting and 1/10 in a body of work.

I was inspired to do this after seeing a work in a Dk art book.This is about the relationship I had in the past with my doctors. Today, I have moved past the fighting and I work with these people.

A piece I did for a book about my life.

The battering of the sea off of a lighthouse is about my own mental health problems.
