My paintings inhabit the border between abstraction and figuration and have their basis in exploration through seeing, experience, research and engagement with the tactility of the process of painting. I draw on a wide range of sources from the most obvious classical themes in painting to the subtlety of philosophical and mystical thought.
In making paintings I am absorbed in the discovery of an energised sense of connection and consciousness both between people, historical traditions and borders of perception from whence things emerge out of creative potentiality into a new expression of existence.
