composition, colour and
textures. But it is also a
tradition with limitless
potential for expressing moods
and feelings, creating
original narratives, and
reflecting on the concerns of
the artist. Recently, I've
been working from images that
interest me on a visual and
topical level (recent
paintings include imagery from
Japanese "kawaii" (cute) and
pop culture, prisoners,
hospitals, and Chernobyl),
which I use and sometimes
combine to create new stories
and atmospheres. Where the
