Artists Statement
My interest is with the observation of people and situations specifically regarding the subject of human behaviour focusing on the concept of personal space and body language.
The intention is for my work to engage the viewer and to create an implied narrative within the relationship between the figures.
Reflections and the fragmentation of the image also fascinate me and my paintings and drawings are taken from general observation.
