"For the most part I work on site (plein air), as it is the most accurate way of capturing light. My main subjects are urban landscapes around London and the people who live and work there. I am influence by urban photographers such as Ernst Haas and Saul Leiter, artists such as Edward Hopper, Doreen Fletcher and Bob Peak, and neo-noir films. I try to capture a sense of a a story about to take place in my paintings.."
