The content of my work is figurative, which incorporates portraits, anatomy, emotion, and life. I explore and depict the emotions and character of people, or my subject matter, in a visual form that is created consciously or subconsciously.

My aim is to capture the attention of the viewer, to draw them into my work, and to share and feel the experience of both the subject’s personality and emotion, whilst embracing the style and medium of the artist’s execution. 

I use mixed media on recycled paper, cardboard and canvas.

Everyday moments in life, people, personalities and life experiences have a great influence on my work. My self-portrait is an example of these life moments. Captured, with the freedom of spontaneous line and brushstrokes, and textures of stuck down pieces of torn cardboard, newspaper and magazines. The torn paper containing two-dimensional printed script and headlines, contrasts with the figurative form and shape of figures and faces.

The use of masking tape and hard rigid lines amid the fluidity of brushstrokes, enhances and amplifies the character and emotion of the person or people portrayed.
