RNWY

RNWY is a reflection of my interest in exploring fleeting expressions that only remain for a very short period of time before they are gone. Instead, here it is, captive and permanently frozen.

MLSDVS

This portrait of Miles Davis was inspired by a photo taken by Anton Corbijn of the jazz musician in a hotel room. This piece was a commission from a friend and I really struggled with the piece for months. I’d stop looking at it for a week, come back to it, make changes – I must have started over or made significant changes of direction at least 8 times.

TRFFC

TRFFC combines many of the ideas that I have used in several of my previous paintings, so I’m leaving this one open to interpretation.

FTRPRSNTTN

This piece addresses the idea of the misrepresentation of beauty in advertising and other media. The image presented to us on a daily basis is not a true reflection of reality – just ask the person responsible for airbrushing the images you are striving to emulate.
