About

“We come from a dark abyss, we end in a dark abyss, and we call the luminous interval life. As soon as we are born the return begins, at once the setting forth and the coming back; we die in every moment. But as soon as we are born we begin the struggle to create, to compose, to turn matter into life; we are born in every moment.” Nikos Kazantzakis

Where do we fit in this world we are borrowing, and what does the experience of being human mean? My preoccupation is to try and encapsulate a particular atmosphere and emotion in my work that speaks to these questions. Through committing to each painting and engaging fully with the materials I aim to create objects which have some power to move people in ways which are difficult to articulate.

I work mainly in large scale oils but have recently expanded my practice into printmaking.  I am involved in various collaborative projects including 'On The Stage of the Present' cross art form improvisation (led by Tom Pritchard); and 28 Drawings Later an online non-curated drawing exhibition.
