Painting

ARTIST STATEMENT

I love the beauty of nature but it’s People and photographs that inspire me. I paint from photographs a lot, mostly figurative work. An experience of seeing a stranger and feeling an “I have to paint that person” urge is often my inspiration.

 

fter 9 years of painting portraits, I have lost count of the number of people I I have painted, except to say more than hundreds and hundreds. Portrait painting is a face to face affair that begins with a 12 minute sketch using watercolor.

It’s an experience that challenges me to balance vulnerability with courage.
