I am a figurative painter , or more precisely a painter of people, based in Leamington Spa in the UK. Unlike many painters I don’t see things and want to paint them. My imagery arises out of my life experience (either directly or vicariously from the arts and media) and is always metaphorical. It might help to see the paintings as “stills” from a movie. They all have a ‘back story’. Choosing the one image arising out of my internal narrative is like selecting the film poster for a movie - it has to express the essence of a rambling epic. They are all about my experience of us - of humanity. I am not trying to tell you anything - far from it, I am trying to find something out (hence their ambiguity). They may provide some insight or they may be puerile nonsense - that is for you to decide.

Below are a few examples of my paintings and drawings. I hope they will interest you to look further and find out more about me and my artworks.
