I am a contemporary figurative painter living in west Wales. Some of my work has a symbolic or narrative element to it. I am intrigued by the mystery behind the face and ambiguity of expression and context. I work from life, memory, photography and imagination.  

My art presents problem solving opportunities and aesthetic choices that nurture my growth and development, and experimenting with a wide range of materials, I regularly paint with a collective of artists led by Roy Marsden (RCA)  

I am happiest in my studio when painting and listening to music, often using song titles and lines from songs as inspiration, and titles to challenge the viewer to approach the painting using their own imagination and to create a narrative context.
