Autobiography

Q          Are the pictures autobiographical? How much of your own personal experiences are represented in your work? How much of yourself is in the paintings? Are you exploring your past? If not, where do your ideas come from? 

A          I do not depict real-life scenarios. I do use portraits of friends, family, and sometimes my own mirror reflection as references. And when I invent a figure from my imagination, she tends to look a bit like me.

The locations in my pictures are made up from bits of real places I have been, using props like my own furniture and stuff around the house. The scenes I paint are fictional but assembled from things that are real.
