Welcome to my website. I use most paint and drawing media. I do not have a clear category for the type of work I do, as I may paint something that is in front of me such as flowers or I may paint something to convey an idea or experience through symbols, colour, shape etc.

Although my work does not aim to be 'realistic' it does inevitably originate in something I have seen. Depending on the subject I work from sketches or directly from the subject. For me art involves trying to communicate my own concerns and ideas therefore I avoid photos as I find it a bit removed from the expression of the subject, and in so doing reduces the satisfaction of painting and drawing.
