Painting live at Childwickbury Arts Fair 2022
oil on board
Exhibited at Lakeside Arts Centre, University of Nottingham Summer 2022

"I have been exploring various methods of mark making and media over the last 10 years. I currently work in oils on board or plywood but archive paintings can be viewed in the PAINTINGS section. My paintings represent a continuation of location drawings from my sketchbooks. These images are usually figures observed from places like cafes and pubs. Often a single figure will be an amalgamation of several - people sometimes don't give me much time to draw them."
