“I have been painting for more than forty years and over those years have built up a large body of work. I have almost always painted in an abstract style, indeed, abstract expressionist style to be accurate. I don’t paint in order to try and reproduce something from life but rather to express what is inside myself that can’t be expressed any other way.”
Pandemic
Paintings made during the year 2020 and 2021 whilst there was a worldwide pandemic taking place.
Formal Abstract Expressionism
A series of paintings I produced using abstract expressionism at its heart but using a formal abstract structure to contain it.
Chimene
A series of paintings born out of love. The series title comes from the film El Cid starring Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren (as Chimene).
Mandalas
After a spell of not painting I decided it was time to pick things back up. Not having a specific idea what I wanted to paint I just started. It wasn’t until a friend pointed it out that I realised I was painting Mandalas.
Hand
These paintings aren’t strictly a series but rather a series of paintings that have one thing in common. My use of the hand print.
Brush Strokes
A series of paintings that seek that perfect brush stroke in combination with a perfect overall form.
Individual Paintings
Although I mostly work in series occasionally paintings come about outside of a series.
