Biography  "The purpose of my painting is to uplift the spirit. I don't produce heavy, morbid work that takes the viewer down. I am conscious not to use the canvas as something to criticise or whinge about life. I don't want to use art as an aggressive, political, social or intellectual platform. I have always admired John Lennon's work. He was gutsy and able to say something, even to provoke, without aggression. He wanted love and peace restored on the planet and was prepared to put himself on the line. I admire what he did for humanity on the real scale - without resorting to intellectualism or superiority. He was a huge spirit, with a massive purpose aimed at changing the world for the people. Rather than use art as a political voice, it is really important to me that the viewers' lives are enhanced, their feelings are ignited and that something is seen that brings other parts of them alive."
