"My work often starts with something I've seen, and sometimes something I think I've seen. Influenced always by my surroundings. Even though I may begin with a flower, a vessel and colours I've seen in a book or on a poster, or in the landscape that is where it ends. The next thing that happens is unexpected and is purely my imagination. So I think still life paintings should always be on the move... Thus my flying flowers, flat vessels with no front or back, colours that aren't flowers and shapes that aren't vessels and so on!
My work aims to have a playful and dynamic feel, making paintings that are instantly approachable.
I work primarily in oils on canvas and use palette knives to give texture.
I am a founder member of the Unstill Life Movement – well, the only member thus far!"
