Artist’s statement

If it is the case that artworks are a subconscious desire made real then it would be true to say you are never alone with one of my paintings.

I seem to be intent on filling space with interesting and arresting figures. Possibly because I like people and I like crowds. I’m interested in the texture and pattern they make and the shape of colour and the way people interact.

I constantly explore the gestalt of the Self and its many facets and express my findings through the immediate and dynamic, plastic medium of paint. When you watch someone else of course you are in a sense learning to understand yourself.

People find my work variously uplifting, funny, disturbing, exciting and unusual. Which is probably about right.
