I like to work with tension between elements in painting. These elements may be in harmony with each other or they may seem out-of-place or to not fit together, thus challenging the narrative. To me interpretation is not the most important thing, but stories can be found which are subjective to the viewer. My work is often emotive and this is an empathic response to the world around me in all it's multiple layers, whether it be virtual worlds, those within the psyche or a physical reality.
When I work, I utilise a diverse range of mixed media— oil paint on canvas or paper, pastel, wax, stand oil and pigments, or on paper using charcoal, pastel, inks, acrylic and watercolour. I like to use different materials for the different results that I can attain. I am considerably prolific in my work and have hundreds of drawings and works on paper which often are made prior to a new series on canvas.
