I am an artist inspired by the everyday, whether its an object, a place I have visited or an experience which has had a great impact on my life as an artist. I like to draw with a simple approach to form when conveying my choice of subject. My inspiration stems from artists such as Giorgio Morandi, Antony Gormley, Tracy Emin, Louise Bourgeois and Cy Twombly. I love to draw the natural world from the seafront to a bowl of fresh fruit from a tree, the beauty of a simple moment in time which will always spring again into our consciousness . Giorgio Morandi is an artist to whom I have paid a lot of attention. His love of the simple object is something I admire , placing the everyday at the forefront without glorification . I love to paint landscapes which encompass the same ideals giving a sense of being at one with nature and the elements.
