My work is figurative, inspired by the presence of people and the physicality of the human body. This subject matter allows me to explore the fragility of being human, the flux and nuance of our inner thoughts, feelings and emotions.

I love the process and evidence of drawing. For me it is such an immediate and raw form of capturing truth. My preference is to work large-scale, physically and energetically being one with the artwork. In turn the scale offers the viewer the opportunity to be immersed in the macro and micro detail within the artwork, and experience the large-scale drawings hanging in a space as an extension of a subjective reality. I love the texture and language of line, gesture and mark making both representational and abstract.
