High Flyers (2018-20)
acrylic on paper
11 paintings, 6cm x 8.5cm (each)
In the spirit of collecting football cards, over the years I've kept newspaper cuttings of footballers celebrating after they had scored goals. Their outstretched arms suggest both the cruciform or an ability to fly. I made 11 images to the dimensions of football cards and created my own team of winners.

Sleeping (2015-2019)
pencil on paper various sizes (from A5 and A6 sketchbooks) I draw most days and as I was flicking through some old sketchbooks, realised that I had made quite a lot of sketches of Carol sleeping over the years. I've put together a selection as a slideshow which documents the period of time spanning her illness, treatment and recovery. |

Between You and Me (2016-2020)
charcoal, acrylic on paper
7 drawings, 25cm x 33cm (each)
Whether of the great, the good or the not so good, portrait paintings are the product of a ‘relationship’ between artist and sitter. All of my ‘sitters’ (cuttings from magazines and newspapers) wear masks but the title suggests an intimacy or secret - a contrast to the ‘mask’ of how we present ourselves publicly.
