Artist Statement

'My work brings together a playful collection of painted glimpses into artists' lives as I envisage them. I do this by reading between the lines of existing paintings and visualising how the artist's working day progresses. Through drawing and painting in this way, I attempt to assemble a statement out of the historical and contemporary legacy I encounter - both in the real
world and the art world.

I draw inspiration from the real (Lucien Freud making a cup of coffee for his model) and fanciful worlds (Chagall traveling over Paris on a magic carpet)often combining the two. I borrow ideas from books and other photographic sources, found images, my own snapshots and references from art history, film and popular culture are among my starting points. What did Andy Warhol eat for breakfast? Who washed Monet's brushes? Why does Hockney wear odd socks?'
