ARTISTS STATEMENT

​

I am primarily an oil painter but also enjoy using charcoal to draw with due to its versatility. I prefer using mediums that can be easily manipulated during the creative process and find that traditional methods of oil painting work best for me. There is nearly always an abstract or psychological narrative in my work and my aim is to sensitively capture that which is not immediately obvious but nevertheless 'there'. In other words, it involves the forging of a deep, spiritual connection and empathy for my subject matter in order to gain an unseen understanding. This is then acknowledged and brought into being via creative intent and application. It is for this reason that my practice is often centred around a love of animals, people, nature or the organic; that which lives or has lived.
