My paintings focus on urban landscape and the people within it. Due to the speed of everyday life with its hustle and bustle, I use photography to view the scene more slowly, it's a way for me to explore this subject anonymously. I am intrigued by the people that I photograph and question who they are and what they are doing. I want my paintings to allow the viewer to experience the same sense of separateness I feel when taking the photograph, as an outside observer. I have emulated the images often captured by CCTV or surveillance cameras and want my paintings to draw attention to the fact that we are being watched.
