This could have been titled The Money Eaters, it's based on the famous saying: 'When the last tree Is cut down, the last fish eaten, and the last stream poisoned, you will realise that you cannot eat money' The painting is a metaphor for environmental destruction. So when the last tree is left standing what's the best course of action? A corporation buys it, puts it on display and charges people for the privilege of seeing it. The sky is a polluted dirty orange beyond the dome, whilst inside the audience sit silently as witnesses in a court who won't speak, they are subdued with a light show of the creatures that might once have existed alongside the tree. Others in the front have purchased money with their last grains of food from a heavily guarded vendor, having been persuaded by the man in the suit that money is good to eat.

I think of myself as much a storyteller as an artist with my favoured themes of the environment, of politics and the imagination. My ideas are often unique to me because ideas are the biggest part of many of my paintings. I fill the landscape of my imagination with ever more bizarre and newly invented ideas each one growing from my previous, and ever developing, pool of thoughts. Anyone who likes my work will themselves have a unique perception. I admire those who have an independent enough mind to buy my work. My concerns for the environment are reflected in my surreal and symbolic paintings while at the same time I constantly experiment with techniques in the form of abstracts. Thank you for taking the time to peruse my work.
