"I don't ever set out to paint or draw a particular subject. My sketch book and camera are always at hand. I record everything of interest. A picture might stay in a sketch book or a photograph stay on a computer but other times it will develop into a painting. 
Sometimes themes appear and develop. I might be inspired by a particular location, time of day or a certain light or an idea such the de-industrialisation of the riverside or the decaying coast."
The reason and the meaning are not the starting point. The reason to paint is to find the meaning.  

"In both painting and photography light is the trigger and the goal is to convey a feeling of what it was like to be there, at that moment. I look for beauty in the ugly and meaning in the banal "
