"This collection of still life paintings further explores my preoccupation with familiar items of domesticity.

The list of works at times reads like a shopping list; apples, eggs, garlic, onions. These are honest portraits, often pared back with the background of raw canvas exposed or painted in muted tones allowing the celebration of the subject. Garden cuttings of weeds and wildflowers are treated in the same way, their colour and texture observed in detail. I don't need to look far for inspiration."
