My journey as an artist is through depicting subjects that evoke an emotional response and visually stimulate attention. As a realist painter, I strive to explored the obscure undercurrents of the subject, the patterns and shapes, light and contrast that juxtapose to create the form which ultimately ‘draws’ the viewer in.. and thereby create the narrative. My fascination with painting is to capture these abstract forms that when completed and taken as a whole complete the visual.

The aim is for the viewer to have an affinity with a work, an analogous emotional and a personal reaction drawn from similar experiences of a moment in time or memory – the things that shape us.. an hopefully for the beholder to have get as much pleasure from viewing the work as it got me to create it..
