My loose painterly style comes from working instinctively and with immediate determination. I’m looking for the fusion, the spark, that special detail that will give a painting truth. I try to work with maximum output and minimal fuss. I’m not just concerned with producing a realistic representation, but more the abstract interplay versus the design, gesture versus structure that will give a painting it’s object life. 

I am self taught but have never felt this hindered me in any way, quite the opposite in fact. I like to work instinctively and feel this produces a more energetic painting than working stringently and methodically. Sometimes it works, sometimes not but when a painting does suddenly become alive, the thrill is incomparable.
