​Artist's Statement


I have mainly worked as a figurative artist using a variety of media: pencil, charcoal, pastels watercolour and oils.

My intention has been to avoid the constraints of just attempting to create a likeness and to try to ‘sculpt reality’ out of 2 dimensional space, hence a figure study rather than a portrait. I am therefore trying to understand form, whether a person, object or place and to be as truthful as possible in the process of observation. 

Recently I have been exploring monoprinting which I have found offers freedom of expression and a very direct engagement with the finished process. Whilst drawing is still fundamental, especially life drawing, I am continuing to develop my art practice specifically in relation to the human head, using stencils and exploring mark making with the addition of collage. I have attempted to take a semi abstract approach deconstructing the head and skull and sometimes incorporating stencils within the work as part of the finished piece.  I am currently exploring how to include text within a print, both to convey meaning as well as be a graphic element within the process. 

Inspiration has come from researching anatomy, icons and African and Mexican Art.
