To draw, paint and create is at the core of who I am. As I gradually develop artistically, I find an increasing passion for how I can evolve my visual language as a form of communication.

My pieces are often born of an intense response to a situation or idea. I will begin with an incredible vigour and then find myself refining the image over weeks, even months of reflective production. I lose myself in the application of layers, subtle nuances of colour and quality of marks. My background training in three-dimensions also leads me to explore the potential for how I can extend beyond the surface of an image with the addition of further details.
Most of my work is rooted within nature where I am driven to depict the character or essence of what I represent. The age of the selfie and photobombing has no doubt influenced my images of animals as have my cycling and walking journeys.

My Art is much more than merely a visual representation of what I see. I find the emotional response/mood of others around me can have a profound impact on what I portray. There is no doubt that I harness the energy of such emotion projecting it into what I produce. An image effectively becomes a personification of what I see in human behaviour.
I do not always seek to explain the ideas that lie behind each piece but prefer that the viewer may interpret and connect with how that image speaks to them.
