Artist Statement

My paintings have developed from an enduring interest in people and the emotional connections we experience throughout our lives. This has lead to a strong emphasises on portraiture. My work is subtle and intimate, with the theme of childhood being a constant thread throughout.

My practice has been strongly influenced by both a degree in both Fine Art and Psychology, merging the two to focus of the central idea of connectedness. The relationship that can be made by a viewer to a piece of art is of central importance, whether it is a connection to the subject, a memory, or an emotion. The feeling a piece of art has is vital and this is explored in terms of how posture and gaze can alter our response to an artwork. My paintings have a sense of solitude and quietness which invites the viewer into their world to form a connection, however fleeting or intangible.
