I am described as a 'contemporary, figurative realist painter' - which presumably means that I am alive and paint people as they are. Some images relate to people I know and some to my experience of society (either directly or through the arts and media). I am continually perplexed by people, both individually and collectively. The paintings are an attempt to give some coherence to experiences that concern, intrigue or amuse me. The images are purely intuitive – ideas may be ‘screened’ to avoid clichés or sentimentality but generally I don’t analyse too much. I would prefer the paintings to be viewed as visual metaphors that attempt to evoke, rather than describe, my feelings about the subject.                      The realistic appearance of the paintings (originally pursued because that is the way I visualised things in my mind’s eye) has become essential to the subject in another way. I have realised that the clarity of the style is curiously deceptive in that the viewer is often lulled by the apparent familiarity of the style into making false assumptions about the imagery. I have found that in art, as in life, things are rarely what they seem and I have become fascinated by the way that clarity and simplicity can disguise a complexity that reveals itself only gradually. If they appear ambiguous it is because I paint to understand, not to be understood.
