One of the main reasons I started to paint angels, was not only a personal interest in this topic but also because I saw out in the world a lack of the masculine form being represented as anything other than a vessel for violence, domination and aggression. I wanted to explore a way of representing the masculine in a new way, with emotion, empathy, expressiveness and vulnerability. I have since painted angels in a wide-variety of forms, male, female, androgynous and otherworldly, but it still remains a driving force of mine to continue to show masculinity in a different way to the world in the hope that it inspires some meaningful change.
