I paint all sorts of subjects such as portraits, animals, figurative but my main love is painting stillife. I don't use any mechanical aids to transfer a likeness on to the canvas so, sometimes, my images are not quite perfect. I always sketch with paint usually using just 2 colours, raw umber and Alkyd titanium white. Here's a bit of arty BS for you: My work explores the relationship between Bau
hausian sensibilities and recycling culture. With influences as diverse as Rousseau and Joni Mitchell, new combinations are distilled from both simple and complex dialogues. Ever since I was a pre-adolescent I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the mind. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes corroded into a carnival of greed, leaving only a sense of decadence and the prospect of a new understanding. As spatial forms become clarified through boundaried and critical practice, the viewer is left with an insight into the outposts of our future. I mainly show my work in the local area of Leamington Spa but I have shown in other areas too including Worcester, Coventry, Lincoln and Rugby.
