Artist Statement -

My current work explores figurative discipline interspersed with semi-abstract, in drawing, painting and collage. I strive to maintain pleasure in working at a deliberate 'instinctual' level, represented by the primitive properties of charcoal, being 'dirty' and hand contact by rubbing and exposing the underlaying marks and chance.

Brush marks however are the challenge...
