I am a painter and illustrator. I also trained as a psychiatrist and have been a director of a charitable company. I am most interested in the male body and how it communicates desire, intimacy and risk. My practice is informed by my lived experience.
My first introduction to art was through the work of Frieda Kahlo and then the work of the Surrealists and Francis Bacon. My work is usually colourful, expressive and almost always includes a body or a face. I use field drawing as a way to capture ideas and digital painting to transform these ideas into bigger works.
My work is often influenced by the male body as depicted in pornography and please note that my works may include references to sex or sexualised images.
