Born Harrow England 1977
My work is extremely diverse and always changing. This is because nothing is more important to me than my development as an artist. Within each body of work I experiment with new techniques to further the progression of my artwork, I specially enjoy the manipulation of light, line, warmth, fluidity and high realism. I use such manipulations to create a deep atmosphere and stark illusion on a two-dimensional surface. My influences are broad, they include traditional artists such as Tiepolo, Rembrandt and Louis Corinth, and more contemporary artists such as Jenny Saville, Lucien Freud
and Peter Doig.

I find the jazz subject a very interesting area to produce atmosphere and
contemporary effects. |

In my latest London cityscapes I have still tried to embrace the idea of transition but with less emphasis on the permanent landmark buildings. The more abstract pieces are based on London scapes at night just with more obvious references dissolved leaving the verticals of buildings and the play of colour and light.

I have tried to develop my work along similar lines this year with some distinct changes. Firstly the nudes I have painted are less contemplatory and are reacting to outside references and pressures.
The nude in red chair pieces weigh down the subject under a thick tangible darkness with a swinging light source referring to a presence outside the picture plane controlling proceedings. |

Some of my London landscapes juxtapose elaborate architecture with transient shapes of people and vehicles. These compositions explore light effects after or during a downpour over a vibrant city.
