Foremost, the very act of painting is what I deem most important to me.

The process of observation, making marks, perfecting a style, the smell of oils and white spirit is that which transposes me to another reality. For me painting is an escapist pursuit and a cathartic process.

The themes within my work enable me to catapult subjects, thoughts and emotions about the person I am to the audience. Of course I want my work to be seen as it is often simpler than explaining myself in words.
