My art is based on the figurative genre. Ordinary, everyday people being central to my work, each painting offers an opportunity to discover a new insight into how we act, react, do, think, worry, enjoy or ponder. I generally don’t work for accuracy, though some turn out that way. In aiming for the communicative and emotional qualities, degrees of abstraction come into play. There’s no formula, only desire and some routine.
