Artist's Statement

My pictures are in pencil and acrylic wash. They are stylised, illustrative and always feature the human figure. I enjoy the subtlety and nuances gained from laying wash over wash of acrylic colour. I also produce finely detailed pencil drawings.

My ideas are gleaned from a wide variety of story-telling sources - from Icelandic sagas, from Chaucer and Mallory, from Grimm and Andersen. These stories contain strange and wonderful imagery, which is what I try to capture in my work. The accompanying image is 'The Seven Ravens' from a tale by Hans Andersen.
