Much of his earlier work reflects his professional past: Formal polished shoes; ties; shirts and suits. Painted with affection and a sense of reflective nostalgia.

Having moved both home and studio to the Sussex countryside, the subject matter of much of his more recent work includes aspects of the natural world. Above all, he is fascinated by the extraordinary ordinariness of everyday things and anticipates that viewers will bring their own associations with them when looking at these images.
