Mitchell's award winning artworks reflect his passion for surfing and travelling.

“I am inspired by nature. I grew up surfing and around the ocean, it’s the force that has shaped my life.

I love the intense light and shimmering colour on the water, the mysterious dark depths, the sparkling light dancing on the surface.

I like to work in a variety of media: photography, drawing, airbrush, hand painting in watercolour, gouache, acrylic and oil.

I’ve been exploring a range of styles and techniques.

Presently I am looking to pare the image down to its primal elements, distilling it to the essence, keeping it raw and expressive.

I like to work outdoors, ‘en plein air’, capturing the essence of a place in small travel paintings and sketches.

For me painting is a form of meditation...entering a timeless space...

I like to think of these images as portals, a window you  gaze through and let the mind wander...”
