'My work reflects a passion for drawing and reading. Some of my more complicated images are composed from twenty or more detailed sketches many of which are lifted from the margins of whatever book I happen to be reading at the time.
I draw from memory and my imagery will often depict people I know and things that I have seen. There is an underlying narrative element in each piece, which is important although not always immediately apparent. The titles often provide keys to the narrative and are such a central part of the creative process that they are usually conceived at the same time as the image.
I am greatly influenced by literature, theatre, films and art history, and my work is peppered with references to all of these. I am a commissioned artist for Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and do some pieces every year specifically for the plays they are staging.'
