There is no mystique as to why I choose to immerse myself in the rich traditions of 18th, 19th, and 20th-century artworks. My passion lies in Portraiture, Impressionism, and Post-Impressionist pieces, and I am dedicated to finding exceptional works that possess a quiet warmth, an intellectual curiosity, and a powerful connection to history and the human condition.

‘If I could say it in words,
there would be no reason to paint’
Whatever brought you here, be it looking for an investment piece for your home or office, maybe a touching gift for someone special, or perhaps simply that connection you have with a particular image and the ongoing desire to replicate a memory into something more tangible, however we can help, we will try in our own way to promote the sentiments of Pablo Picasso when he said: ‘art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life’.
William Arthur Breakspeare
William Breakspeare was a prolific artist working in both oil and watercolour. Though he is remembered for eighteenth-century genre, his subjects were greatly varied, including scenes from literature and classical history. He was a talented draughtsman and painter with a meticulous attention to accuracy that led to a highly finished style.
