Artistic statement
People are the most interesting subject matter to me, the person can be real or imagined but whether it is a figure or a face they will always have a story to tell.

My work is narrative in nature and the subjects I choose are sometimes harrowing and sombre, but through my work I attempt to highlight or protest the issue in question.
My current body of work is set around my experiences and reflections of societal issues exploring themes such as recession, austerity, homelessness, healthcare crisis, depression and suicide.

“Often my work is not a portrait in a traditional sense rather the figure is representative and delivering a message. Although this message may be specific to a subject I’m concerned with, I hope the viewer will have their own interpretation and see their own experiences in my work“
