I am from a working class background, and realise that my work is influenced by this fact. My work ethic and belief towards my work, hopefully expresses this. |

This was a transition or crossover piece for me. I had just finished Uni, and wasn't doing much of anything. I was struggling to find materials, and didn't have any where to work and no cash. So I made this canvas and proped it up agaisnt the wall in my garage, and proceeded to paint.It didn't matter what it was, it was about discipline.
It was throughtout the winter season and I would get home from work most nights, put on my thermol wellingtons, and six layers of clothing and paint. |

This was also painted at a time where my life was a void. Again it is about desire, belief, and decipline.It was actually painting in my bedroom, late on nights after work.
I was trying very hard at this point to do something. Anything, just keep ploughing on. |
Un-titled

I was once again lost, I knew I wanted to paint, but had no direction.I was painting, yes, but I didn't understand what they meant to me at the time. |
Spank me!

This was the first real piece I began to identify with for a long time. It had a connection to me. It wasn't pretty, it wasn't conservative, but neither am I. |
Sofa

I painted this for many reason's.I myself have wasted too many years at my relativly young age, sitting on the sofa. It also encourages bouts of eating, which amazes me! |
Sat-dee

This was one of the first painting's this year, where I believe I have found a direction.It's more "me". I was looking too far out, often things that are close are overlooked. |
