Painter, sculptor, illustrator, ceramist

Many of my paintings explore the boundaries of my own application of paint and gestural brushwork. I normally endeavour to be faithful to nature, working from direct observation, but also developing my mark-making with the brush and painting knife within the confines of naturalistic representation. I aim to respond to visual stimuli while creating work in which the application of paint is of paramount importance. Most of my work is created using brushes but more and more I use painting knives to generate more complex passages of paint.
