“In my painting I employ a broad range of subjects, styles and techniques.  A common thread is the things that are unseen or missing. The mists that obscure a scene; the shadows behind the figures and the gaps and distortions as memories fade.  Alongside this is an aim to make an image that is striking from a distance yet still rewards close scrutiny. Certain themes are explored and revisited; Character and Performance, Landscape and Atmosphere, Place and Time. My pictures are prompts to the imagination allowing the viewer to complete them from their own experienceI seek the essence – not the particular.”
