"Observation is central to my work as a painter. I work both from life and from memory and my paintings are representational. I represent the contours and shades of the physical world and also try to render the more tenuous idea of atmosphere in terms of colour, light and the varying attitudes and expressions of people. It is my aim to convey an idea as well as an image in my paintings and often that idea is a narrative. The people and objects in my paintings have a past and a future and a context. I am always interested in interpreting people's relationship with their surroundings and in the case of portraiture, their surroundings include me, the artist."
