"It is the emotional involvement of the artist with the architectural rendering that enlivens it with the character and feeling essential to a convincing and engaging portrayal of the subject."

Cliff Minor R.A.
Illustrator



Architectural rendering has been my fascination since first being involved with the art of producing architectural illustration.  Every commission is a new challenge to explore the knowledge and application of the techniques and materials used together with accurate perspective and intelligent composition to arrive at a satisfying portrayal of the architectural subject in its context.

Traditional architectural rendering methods and materials have always been my focus. Digital rendering is not provided by this studio.  Working with your drawings, sketches, or photographs the views are developed and executed with these methods.  Each work is a collaboration of the architect and illustrator to express the design intent to its truest possibilities, while drawing upon that fascination with illustration to arrive at an involving and convincing image.  The emotional involvement is evident in the sensitivity of each work whether full formal rendering, vignette, or sketch.

The examples in this portfolio show some part of the body of work produced in over 30 years of architectural rendering.  Some are very recent and some not so recent, and taken collectively they indicate a striving for consistency of quality through constant personal involvement and commitment to the development of the art of architectural illustration.
