Painting is my version of events, so I make shows which tell stories about who we are.
 
Whatever my subject from the grim urban valleys of my youth, to gardens I'm inspired by, the wide spaces of the Dales near my studio or even simple domestic arrangements of favourite objects in my home, all of my work is a self portrait about seeing the positive, hopeful and optimistic side of life.
 
Having suffered a life changing illness I know that we all have two lives, but the second one only begins when we realise we have just the one.
