'In my paintings I work from memories with the intention to capture a precise visual and sensational event with the emotional qualities that come with it. Focusing mainly on the process of working from memory and fragmented references, this opens up the possibility to capture emotions and depths that may be over looked when just focusing on the illustrated visual. The challenge of trying to paint these intense visual images is one I’m trying to tackle in my practice, the paintings are attempting to capture more than a visual recording or fleeting moment but encapsulate the culmination of all the human senses or experience throughout the duration of executing the work. The thrust is that the viewer creates a profound human connection through experiencing my paintings, as they try to resonate with honesty and substance.'
