My work is best described as emotively whimsical. As an artist, it is the interior lives we all carry within us, that I find to be the most fascinating part of human nature. These enigmatic inner landscapes are mostly kept hidden from a passerby, but will sometimes - and often fleetingly, reveal themselves in a passing gesture or look. In my portraits, I look to capture a quality or expression through the use of colour and contour that distils something of the interior life of a person.
