Influenced by artists such as Qin Feng and Kazuo Shiraga, my practice follows the conceptual ideas of abstract expressionism and surrealism. It’s entirely instinctive and uses a thick acrylic mixture, creating gestural, textured abstraction. Formerly a figurative painter in oils, I now paint in acrylic using any tool I can find in my studio. 

 

Before painting, I assemble, stretch and prime the piece myself. What you see on the canvas is an honest portrayal of me working things out; not knowing what direction to head in, in any respect, but turning up to the studio and painting anyway.

 

I'm represented by The Old Bank Vault gallery in London and am grateful to all the collectors who have bought my work to date. Those pieces now find themselves in various collections across the world, from the Caribbean to Australia.
