portraits:

I love to tell stories; to whittle away at people's lives and try to capture a moment of their life, a brief glimpse of another world. Over the last two years, I have developed a great fascination with travelling Circus performers, specifically the strange voyeuristic connection we develop as a member of the audience. Circuses are a strange and magical arena whereby you are encouraged to temporarily live vicariously through a stranger death death-defining acts.
Over the years, I have developed a complex and indecisive painting process. I enjoy playing with my subject, much like a cat and mouse. I always start by applying multiple metallic/fluorescent acrylic layers with a palette knife, until I can see the images erupting through the canvas (much like using an intuitive Rorschach Ink Blot Test to formulate my composition and flow). Once I know where the painting is going, I can begin to pin down a linear drawing in Ink, before I can then move onto completing the painting by building up highlights/shadows through multiple dry stiff brush marks, gradually moving towards a thick juicy oil paint.

landscapes:

During the second COVID, I moved from a large built-up area of Hertfordshire to quiet Norfolk, as such I have only just started to build a selection of work reflecting the rich and diverse Norfolk Landscape, which has captured my imagination and exploration of colour.
Below is a selection of studies from being out and bout around Norfolk and beyond.
