My work is about looking at the things around me. The subjects of my pictures are usually familiar and immediate to me. I work from life. It is a response to the objects, spaces and people around me. I try to paint these subjects with an attentiveness to the particular qualities present in them. I attempt in my paintings and drawings to represent the beauty I see in the subject.
