My work is rooted in drawing with mark making being almost the most important element of anything I do. Lots of small detailed figurative drawing lead to larger projects.

Surface texture is important to me, I use thick paint in wild and soaring swathes and then, my alter ego breaks the surface skin with a sharp pencil (I accept the analogy to a surgeon’s scalpel), scoring constantly and repetitively, small marks allowing me to get inside the image.
