I am inspired and motivated by a desire to represent emotions, thoughts and opinions, particularly when they are complex, confusing or difficult to understand. I am fascinated by faces and abstract facial features are a recurring theme in my pen and ink drawings, with their intricate patterns of lines and shapes.  Sometimes my face-like images contrast the internal and external manifestation of anxieties and contradictory emotions experienced by individuals.  My intention is to challenge the viewer to think about what they are seeing, several interpretations being possible, both serious and humorous. 

 

I believe that the simplicity and starkness of monochrome images has an inherent impact but, in some work, the restrained use of colour can also be effective. 

 

I also combine drawing with painting, create mixed media work and enjoy experimenting with print-making. Some of this work depicts subjects in an abstract way, while others are more representational. 

 

A selection of my work is available as high quality, signed, limited edition prints, on archival, acid-free paper. These may be supplied at the size of the original work, or smaller, to suit your requirements.

 

I am happy to undertake commissions for individuals, or organisations and create something for you personally. We can discuss the details of the work, the size and price.
