I love painting people, but I do not want to just paint portraits, I want my people to have a bit of character, a little of the night about them, coming from my dreams my imagination to colour and how the arrangement of colour can produce a different emotional experience of art. I want original and striking paintings which draw the viewer in, which makes them stop…to then see more than the initial work form and colour.  I want my painting to make a statement, to be timeless, exquisite, of indeterminate origin, the tone beautifully considered with an atmosphere of wonder and intrigue, giving an emotional as well as a visual connection, to look impressive hanging on a wall providing enjoyment for many years to come.
