My early paintings were loose and expressive, with thick impasto and bold, confident brushwork. They captured the animals, people and dances I came across while travelling through Southern Africa.

Over the years my work has moved towards abstraction. Each figurative composition is distilled to its purest form and essence, expressed in richly coloured, angular, hard-edged planes that carry the energy and mood of the painting.

Today I paint the figure at rest and in company: bathers, pensive subjects engaging with their environment, cloud-spotters in the Namib, and the subtle beauty found in everyday rituals. The body in movement is still at the heart of it. It’s a wordless language of expression that gives me more material than I could ever use.
