I am fascinated by the properties that paint can produce on canvas and seeing the old masters and how they applied their skills is still a wonder for me even today.

In my paintings I always try and put my old skills learnt as a mural artist and sign writer into the finished canvas and a combination of people and locations remain my inspiration.

I'm always inspired by anything that needs the skill of a steady hand set against a soft background and this, combined with a traditional pictorial approach, helps me stay true to my experience as a mural artist.

I like to be able to just express myself as best as I can and I feel I have a lot of work still to do.

I'm an apprentice and also a teacher and if there's one thing I have learnt with painting it is that whilst you can never learn enough, you seem to evolve with each painting that you do.
