The figure is usually the main aspect in any one painting, surrounded by their own
particular narrative. I rarely use models because for me the ‘goal’ of creating a
painting goes beyond the physical image of a model and is strongly influenced by
thought and imagination. I am constantly exploring what can be achieved.
A review by The Scotsman’s art critic the late W. Gordon Smith described
the work as a cross between the painters John Byrne and Stanley Spencer
but with an interesting ‘bite’.
