profile

My paintings deal with the human figure, proceeding from the photographic essence of the caught moment, to evoke the ambiguity that lies either side of it. 

I am fascinated by childhood, and the transitions between innocence and knowledge, and between the contrasting emotions of isolation and belonging.
