I’m a London based painter working predominantly in acrylic, often working from my own photographs and found photographs of times now past. I create pictures which ask the viewer to question what they are seeing, who the people they are looking at are and their history and experiences. My working process sees me develop ideas from my notes, sketches and photographs and I use charcoal, ink and acrylic to develop the final picture.
Particular artists whose work has inspired me include Lucian Freud, Léon Spilliaert, the British Neo-Romantics (including John Piper, Graham Sutherland, Keith Vaughan) and early-mid twentieth century photography including the work of Walker Evans, Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange and August Sander.
