MIKE SKIDMORE STILL LIFE AND PORTRAIT ARTIST

Mike’s still life in oils are inspired by whatever catches his imagination at the time. Reflective surfaces, evocative shadows, and contrasting textures define his work. His paintings sometimes pair unusual subjects, such as birds and still life objects, to tell a relatable story, and he often works in themes, sometimes with a surreal quality. Occasionally, Mike produces humorous artwork, as seen in his illustrations.

Mike also paints classical and more contemporary portraits in oils that capture the sitter's depth and character.

He works from his studio close to the river in Ross-on-Wye and exhibits nationwide.
