My paintings depict people in their worlds.

They are an attempt to portray the interior life of my subjects by showing them in their

everyday surroundings at a precise moment in time.

Often their exterior situation reveals more about the interior life

 of my subjects than their face, figure or attire.

My painting style is purposely gestural, and fast so that the objects and subjects

are not individually dwelt on but the specific high moment  appears to have been

captured all at once before it dissolves into the next moment.
