A Photograph Doesn't Gain Weight Or Lose

Neurologically, I'm A Quadriplegic, So Virtually Everything About My Work Has Been Driven By My Learning Disabilities, Which Are Quite Severe, And My Lack Of Facial Recognition, Which I'm Sure Is What Drove Me To Paint Portraits In The First Place.

Inspiration Is For Amateurs - The Rest Of Us Just Show Up And Get To Work. And The Belief That Things Will Grow Out Of The Activity Itself And That You Will - Through Work - Bump Into Other Possibilities And Kick Open Other Doors That You Would Never Have Dreamt Of If You Were Just Sitting Around Looking For A Great "art Idea."

It's Always A Pleasure To Talk About Someone Else's Work.

I Think Most Paintings Are A Record Of The Decisions That The Artist Made. I Just Perhaps Make Them A Little Clearer Than Some People Have.

A Face Is A Road Map Of Someone's Life. Without Any Need To Amplify That Or Draw Attention To It, There's A Great Deal That's Communicated About Who This Person Is And What Their Life Experiences Have Been.
