Art critics have described my work as being 'reminiscent of Degas a those Victorian photographs of women "accidentally" glimpsed in domes surroundings' (Moira Jeffrey, March 2003) and 'small smoky images of female nude that are quite memorable' (Duncan MacMillan, June 2003) with a more recent mention in the 178th Annual RSA Exhibition as group of exquisite small nude paintings' (Duncan MacMillan 2004).

I have been concentrating on the female nude for several years now, exploring the play of light and shadow on skin tones. I try to create a scene; hazy figures are glimpsed through the darkness with shafts of light etching the contours of the body. This recent collection of work also takes fresh inspiration from my travels to the Far East, Himalayas and Rajasthan. I ! concerned with the feeling, the impression, the revelation a painting gives you rather than actual realism. These paintings are a meditation on light and nature.'
