About the artist
I have been painting since 2000.
My still-life paintings aspire to - and are inspired by - the work of the hyperrealists. These pieces represent an ongoing exploration of the constants of life that connect us all as human beings: cherished objects, childhood memories, food, the kitchen and so on.
My work is underpinned by my long-held fascination with the interplay of light and dark, positive and negative space and the power of light to define the surfaces across which it travels. I hope these works bring a sense of connection and a bit of light into your life.
See you around the studio.
