Original artwork description:

I have sent my work to over 64 countries and some great landmarks such as Berkeley Square in London’s Mayfair, 5th Ave New York, Malibu beach in California Hong Kong, Monaco, Monte Carlo and Singapore, in fact, one of my best collectors is in Amsterdam which is not short of great artist or galleries, I’m very proud of that.
For me, ladies are interesting to paint; I’ve had people say my Ladies are gross, grotesque, fat and ugly; I’ve also had people comment that they are profoundly beautiful, and I’ve sent them all over the world. I don’t want my ladies put in a box all looking the same to please a small part of society.

They come in all shapes and sizes, have lots of beautiful curves, and are voluptuous of indeterminate origin; they can be arrogant but always have an inner glow that radiates out. I capture that glow with every knife or brush stroke.

My ladies have always been with me; my earliest drawings were nudes; when I had my first gallery on Samui, I used to have lots of Thais walking by furtively peeping into my shop with lots of kids sneaking a look, all because of my nudes, Thais don’t normally do nudes.
