British Univerity Artists-Featured artist of the week May 2011

My work is about connecting our multi layered identity with the infrastructure of our cityscapes. I utilise historical photographic collections as my source and aid for my paintings. The symbolic images I create explore the character of cityscapes and geographical design of the landscape. An intangible narrative involved with an internal search for a sense of place on a planet that is in stark contrast to its own organic nature.

My imagery represents and reflects places of power, status, culture, hierarchy and heritage. We seek out our own avenues of conscious and subconscious to find an identity that replicates our own sense of sanctuary and security within these cityscapes.

I employ a wide variety of mediums within my imagery that enables me to create intriguing compositions. The beguiling appearance of rooftops and skylines that is so delightful against the back drop of wonderful skies has always intrigued me. These scenes can often be visually chaotic but reflect the infrastructure within cities.
