The foundation of my creative practice involves the mundane yet essential act of turning up every day to explore, develop and re evaluate technical and creative skills through drawing, painting and observation. The constant aim is to be prepared and able to grab that part of the genius that moves through all of us every day.
This work explores themes around end of life, loss and duality, such as absence and presence. I use multiple images/objects, destructive drawing and overlaying in search of the whole picture.

Touching on my Mum’s death this piece evolved from a deep desire to understand and overcome my fear of death as an ultimate end. The body being full with consciousness in one moment and then devoid of spirit the next is an incomprehensible fact that happens thousands of times each day.
