“I recall standing outside the cinema with my father when I was a young boy. Our city of Sheffield was well known for Steel and Cutlery manufacturing. During the cold winter months fog would fill the streets, leaving buildings, people and cars as silhouettes against the grey skies. Lights would shine like beacons through the grey bringing colors and reflections to life. It’s this combination of shapes, light and depth that gives my art a sense of place, a story on canvas.”
