A lot of my work is about intimate little domestic scenes of things remembered from childhood but also I am trying to offer a glimpse into the long held fascination I have with the themes of circus's, sideshows and theatrical scenes - the earthy arenas with the people that occupy them. Snatches of colour or a shape glimpsed often spark an idea along with little notebook drawings that form the basis of paintings. I work from things witnessed but much is from my imagination. Ultimately I'm trying to convey a sense of place through the use of colour and how I compose various elements and to catch these characters as they slip between the shade behind the scenes and stepping into the light.
