ARTISTS STATEMENT
I began drawing and painting in early childhood and have continued to work as an artist all my adult life. My work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions throughout the UK and also internationally. Paintings and prints are in a number of public collections and numerous private collections. Articles about my work and reproductions of my images have appeared in many art catalogues, magazines and books - most recently “A Singular Vision, 50 Years of British Painting at the Portal Gallery” (Prestel Books) - and significantly with Bloodaxe Books, who have used more than 20 paintings as covers for their poetry publications.
Over the years I have worked in watercolour, etching, pastel, digital and most drawing media - and constantly in oil on canvas. My pictures present images both ambiguous and subtly surreal. There is often a sense of narrative, though the narrative is usually my own - and there can be a sense of a story within, of subversion through painted illusion. My figure and still life paintings and prints are a combination of actual and invented people and objects arranged into a composition of the imagination.
