As an artist I’m interested in exploring the passing of time, our perception of it and how recollections are pliable.

Specifically, I’m inspired to work where memories, encounters and recollected sounds, intersect. Often what we remember differs from the reality we originally experienced, which I find fascinating.

I think of myself as a collector of moments, a keeper of the lyrical. My paintings reflect those fragments of memories I hold, with a particular emphasis on times spent with other people and the music or sounds I associate with them.

I have used a variety of mediums, but prefer the special nature of oils and heavy body acrylics. I sometimes use found objects to apply paint to surfaces. One of these surfaces is copper panels, which lends a unique, burnished quality to the completed painting.

I now have a dedicated site where I discuss more about my paintings, thoughts and processes. It’s called Doubt The Stars and you can find it by clicking here.
