Original artwork description:

My paintings are all about people though sometimes they may not always look like an average person, my people are like the sea always changing. I want my people to have a bit of character, a little of the night about them but above all I want them to be special.

I’m a people watcher; I could study a person for hours, we all wear a mask to hide our true characters some of my people wear an egg as a mask, some hats, some are very confident like my Goddesses, but we all have something in common, we all have something to hide.

Only my Lovers show their true feelings and the love they have for each other or sadness when apart, and my Jazz players come in all shapes and sizes.

For me nudes are interesting to paint, I’ve had people say some of my Ladies are gross, grotesque, fat and ugly, I’ve also had people comment that they are profoundly beautiful.

My ladies come in all shapes and sizes have lots of beautiful curves, voluptuous of indeterminate origin they can be arrogant but always have an inner glow about them that radiates out, and I try to 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 usually do nudes.

I want my art to have an art deco or a sort of surrealism feel to it, I want you to see something different every time you look at it, I want it to hold your imagination.
