Im drawn towards painting people, faces and figures at a moment
in time, space, reflection, The more I travel, the more Im inspired
and energized by the incredible diversity but a commonality that
we share.My art tries to capture something that is everyday in its
context, but looking at as if for the first time, when its new and fresh
and interesting. I work across mediums oils, pastels, pencil, charcoal,
watercolour, photography and mosaic but predominantly oils. I like
the richness of colour and texture with the flexibility of being able to
work up the painting from the layers underneath. Im like a bower bird
with photographic images I collect everything both my own and
anything else that even vaguely appeals. These visual reminders
and references which could be just a gesture, a colour or a shape,
can then serve as starting point for creating something new and
start playing.
