I have been painting and drawing ever since I can remember and still find it an exciting and rewarding way of life.
In my painting I explore ways of combining 2D flat pattern with 3D realism and space - a fusion between mark making and skilled technique. I am constantly thrilled by this combination which is not restricted by subject matter.
