I was thinking about a name, and the song “My Funny Valentine” and the words “my favourite work of art” by Chet Baker came into my head, so that’s her name.

The Lovers oil painting depicts two exquisite lovers locked In an embrace. I loved working with the colours the blues, the yellows, I loved the form it took, I love the beauty, beauty is a feeling, a glow inside that radiates out, I try to capture that glow with every brush or knife stroke. I wanted “The Lovers” to look comfortable with lots of pleasing curves, ageless, of indeterminate origin or nationality and without boundaries, but above all at ease with themselves.

The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.” Lucian Freud.

About
In March 2026, I sent a painting to the R. W. Norton Art Gallery & Museum, which purchased it for the Contemporary Gallery. It doesn't get much better than that.... Read more
