Statement:
I use both figurative and abstract processes to express the essence of different subjects. My figurative work is focused on easy to identify imagery, straight from reality. My abstract work represents the interpretation of both the familiar and the images arising from the subconscious: an expression of mood and energy.

I often explore the path between these two concepts and observations with an aim of going beyond or behind the obvious, recalling from memory, moods of form and tone, to create my art. The obvious remains partially hidden but the resultant interpretation sustains a provocative quality.


further statement:
During the late 70s and early 80s whilst taking a BA in Fine Art, I became intensely interested in the theory of dynamics and tensions, going beneath the surface and adopting an x-ray approach to observation.

Highlighting the most subtle particles of value and, employing an opposite approach with the bold and obvious, reducing the values of colour and shape to captures the essential elements that communicate my expression.
