I have developed a preference for painting figures in suburban settings as well as in the landscape.  My approach to image making is figurative and classical in its methodology. For some time now my immediate environment has been a catalyst for ideas and I allow meanings to emerge in my work based on personal experiences, recollections and chance observations.  I am interested in the dramas we all live out and endeavour to show how they can express wider truths about ourselves."
