"I'm so f***ing lonely" Painting

I'm a self-taught, figurative painter and composer living in Yorkshire, UK and exhibiting in a number of galleries across the North of England. An expressive and direct approach to mark making is central to my work. In particular I view drawing not as something separate from or precursory to a painting, but as an integral part of my process, at times by way of scraping or scoring the surface with saw blades and old hand tools.
