Artist's Statement

I make realistic oil paintings about the intangibility of thought. The reflective nature of my work is embodied within dream-like vistas of fine oil surfaces, where absolute realism melds into myth, gravity into weightlessness and earthly concerns into ethereality.

Canvasses are smoothed with many layers of ground and surfaces are then sanded back before oil paint is applied, each stage aspiring toward a dreamlike realism. The combined approach of oil paint thinly veiling real issues releases a tension as each work is explored.
