STATEMENT   
My painting is a direct response to the world around me. I work mainly in oils and prepare a lot 
of my own surfaces. I paint a variety of subject matter always from the subject: figure in the landscape, 
landscape, still life, the life model, and an on-going series of self-portraits. 
Some larger work is painted in my studio at home from drawings and paintings. I work 
in sketchbooks where ever I go and put a great deal of emphasis on drawing believing that
it underpins all good painting.

I have access to an artist's studio on the Suffolk coast where the ever changing sea 
and sky dominates. It is a wonderful vantage point for observing people walking, sitting on the beach 
and the sea wall, either in conversation or quiet reflection. I also love to travel around 
the county painting in my car or outside in the elements.
