Statement

People interest me, especially those considered to be “outsiders”. I’m drawn to people who are unique and fascinated by those times usually unseen, such as performers after the show or, โ€œbehind the curtainโ€, but I believe that there is no such thing as a โ€œnormal lifeโ€. Everyone has a story. I aim to capture some of this in my work, allowing the viewer to feel they understand the subject better and hopefully feel a connection with them.

My paintings and drawings are figurative, but I use colour to explore something deeper in the subject, or convey certain emotions. I often do my initial sketches in oil pastel, as this can be a wonderful way to explore which colours to use in the finished piece.
