Queen Hapshetsut
I created this from the imagery I had access to. The heiroglyphics are real but I’ve rearranged them together to suit the composition. And, like many of my paintings, I like to think that you are imagining something splendid and exciting happening just below.
First Light
Barbed wire and fencing is a universal symbol. But mine is broken and finished with - and it's morning. Today is a new dawn. An optimistic picture.
Corrosive Pink
I have been fascinated (all right obsessed) with corrugated iron for decades because of the possibilities of texture, contrasted with colours and the effect of changing light across a 3D surface. More recently I have become excited by the use of intense pigments pioneered by Anish Kapoor in particular and produced a complex mutimedia construction which is nevertheless of similar dimensions to an ordinary oil painting.

Inferno
When I was small in Australia I was dragged out of bed, shoved in the car and driven away and as I looked back all I could see was a wall of flame. It's stayed with me ever since
Theodosius
I think this is one of the best examples of my work combing real cloth and architectural features with an oil painting to create a composite artwork.
Darkest Hour (Dyptich)
While these were not intended as a pair, when completed it seemed obvious they had to be. mostly they are an attempt to get the most vivid colours I could possibly achieve.
Lancaster Gate, London
While living in near Hyde Park, London this dramatic sky with a church steeple peeking over a building site corrugated fence caught my eye. The fence is more than it seems.
Window
One day there was a piece of corrugated pvc lying on the studio floor with the sun streaming in a casting colourful shadows which I’ve exaggerated and increased the intensity.
Flagged
It's great the way some fabrics flow shift and fold - especially flags. I hope this one doesn't turn out to belong ro someone.
Transformer
The practical demands of industrial design often produce elegantly designed objects that sit well in the natural environment.
Sydney Harbour
When I lived in Sydney we sometimes went yachting in the harbour. I began photographing patches of water and became intrigued by the variety of shapes lines and colours.
Lone - Breckland Pine
Scots pines are everywhere in Norfolk and their often distorted shapes silhouetted against the skyline. Usually they're in groups but this sad one seems to have got lost
