Artist Profile

My work focuses on everyday places, moments and journeys.

I try to recreate the feeling of light and space within each scene, in order to transport the viewer into the painting, as if standing there looking in. Everything is caught momentarily – in transience, waiting for someone to come along and continue the journey.

It is important to me that my work is reflective of the present. Because of this, I hope that it will in some way comment on a variety of aspects of our lives and surroundings.

I am currently working on new paintings which all feature bus stops as a main focal point. Acting as a bookmark for a journey the bus stop becomes the one constant, the fixed anchor which is set paradoxically against the flux of people passing by.

I use a digital camera like a sketch book; the paintings I create from these images are rendered in pastel on paper.
