My Work

The focus of my work is predominately figurative

Portraiture

It is important that I explore a depth of realism in my portraits, capturing the nuances of the face, the eyes, the special character of the person and push the contrast of the real figure against a more expressive or decorative background.

I enjoy playing with color, layering various colors of oil paint to develop an interesting base on which to place my figures.
I really want to develop work that pushes the boundaries and the use and placement of color.

I love painting people, capturing moments & everyday activities of the human condition.
More increasingly I want to show a quick snapshot of lives, events and times that are personal to me but also just those casual encounters that can be anywhere.
