Artist's Statement
"Working directly from the model continues to be a fascinating activity for me.
The close scrutiny of the model means the process is as much about seeing as drawing.
Observation is key to my work,
and I only draw from live models to capture the dynamic aspect of the subject."

'No longer shall I paint interiors with men
reading and women knitting. I will paint living people who breathe and feel and suffer and love.'
