Drawing is of central importance to my work, both in making preliminary sketches and during the painting process. By investing a lot of time in design drawings, I am able to explore and refine the structure of the composition. Whether painting landscapes, interiors or people, I work for the most part from direct observation, in mixed media, soft pastel and oils. The experience of space, and unusual juxtapositions of shape, colour and texture are constant preoccupations. I seek to record exceptional and beautiful qualities in apparently ordinary subjects.
