Artist
Statement:
My work is mainly contemporary, commission based figurative and semi-abstract
landscapes, initially I was influenced by the impressionists spontaneity
and use of colour. My aim is to capture the character of the sitter, their
mannerisms and facial expressions. The human face is the only part of
our anatomy that we cannot
hide and therefore presents our first impression of that person. The face
is a window to the soul, it conveys our emotions and life’s pains
and people go to great lengths to cover up psychologically and physically
Recently I have become interested in the subconscious memory, in these
works I am exploring movement and static
space searching for the illusion of light and combining this with a portrayal
of depth and texture.
