GREAT INTERIORS

Exhibition dates

3rd - 21st November 2015

21 Bruton St, London, W1J 6QD

I have been working on the paintings

in this exhibition over the last two years.

They concentrate on what has been

a constant theme for me - an endless

fascination with interiors both for what they

tell us about the people who inhabit these

places even when they are not there and

the curiosity aroused by half-seen glimpses

spied through windows and doors.

The mystery of the not-quite-known

is forever enticing.
