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. 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. 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.

It seems to me to be pointless to be making visual art without it being seen - I welcome opportunities to exhibit.
