Artist Statement

 

I live life with energy and vitality which I endeavour to bring to my paintings. I work with quick strokes, vivid dashes of colour, and bold tonal contrasts. I want to create a sense of the real but embellished with light, tone, and originality.

​

My enthusiasm for colour and character inspires my art, which, I hope, brings a sense of optimism. Above all, I want to convey the character and warmth of my subjects and I hope my art will inspire and brighten your day.
