Artist's Statement: "I think the body is a fascinating and beautiful subject to work from, I never get bored of painting it. Once you put a figure in a painting it has an instant narrative without having to try and create one. I hope that my paintings are easy to understand. I don't like trying to explain them away. I think painting should be instinctive, I do not analyse why I paint what I paint - the paintings either work or they do not. My figurative works have some narrative most of the time. I hope my work is beautiful and has some kind of atmosphere."
