It was not until I made a trip to Asia that I started introducing characters into my work. Based in Hong Kong and making 'satellite' trips out, I spent 6 months observing different cultures against incredible backgrounds both rural and urban. Up until then my work explored the light and colour in landscapes, and was absent of the story of the people who live their lives there. Now I hope it is all of these things.
Keen to transport people, perhaps strike up a curiosity or recollection of their own, I believe painting to not just be a means to produce an image, but a process that should enrich the painter as much as it should an audience.
