A lot of my work is concerned with the melancholic moment - at the lighter end of the scale - , and negative space. This is not an idea applied exclusively to some of my human subjects, but also expressed in my still life works where I attempt to imbue the objects with some emotional slant.

Much of my still life work starts with a personal experience or idea, which can be expressed in single words or short sentences, as in the case of 'promises', and 'I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking'.
