I am interested in painting nature morte that are full of life and raw energy. My intention is to create ‘drawings in paint’, keeping them more in the spirit of a sketch.


The sun - when I work outdoors in my courtyard - is a tripod light. I pass things into and out of it - wait for it to throw the right shadows and play with its shining onto porcelain or glass. It is, in effect, my great collaborator, and having grown up in the UK - I’m still awed by its intensity.
