Painting

"My paintings deal with movement, are full of colour and vitality and are often depicting scenes from literature or mythology. They are not meant to depress or portray a wider social meaning, they are there to evoke the feeling of spontaneity and to query the narrative that is passing between the characters.

Bold lines of expression are simple but carefully planned as is the use of colour. The combination of these gives my work its strength and vitality. While my sculpture presents the natural earthy colours, I want my paintings to be vibrant and lively. Both mediums are of equal importance to me and I have a need to express myself equally in both."
