Trying to understand a human subject and translating their form onto the canvas or page is a particular challenge in art. I find a line and go from there to capture the attitude.

A vase of flowers in a room often stands out. Exquisite colours and shapes. They make for incredible subjects . Like characters they twist, turn, blossom and fade.

Places have stories. There is always history to a place. When I paint or draw places I aim to allow some of that story to reveal itself through a sense of energy in the work that aims to bring you to the place.
