My portraits are deep studies of a person or thing, in order first to understand it, and then to convey its unique and individual character, its fundamental essence. My fruit paintings can be seen as family portraits. It’s about the relationships within the group. 

 

I’m currently making portraits of chairs. Chairs, we know intimately. We choose our chair for how it fits our unique body. It is a haven where we retire to read, think, write, sit with our selves. Embracing our most private parts, its seat in time takes the shape of our own: we know it & it knows us. Yet a chair empty suggests one not there. It raises questions. Who is it who is absent? What occurred to part them from their scene? Will they return?
