Introduction	I spent around 6 years in formal education in University and College in Ontario, Canada studying Painting, Drawing, Printmaking and Design. In 2004 I moved to London where I currently live and work. I am drawn to photographs of leisure scenes, as well as vintage travel and holiday postcards from the 50s and 60s. I use these kinds of references, alongside my own personal bank of images, to make my paintings. I am attracted to the mix of nostalgia and ‘Luxe, Calme et Volupté’ in these depictions of leisure. Here is a place where people are partly naked, relaxed and often unaware of themselves; perhaps more ‘natural’ than in other situations. I spent my youth, and many summers following this, on the Mediterranean island of Malta. Some of the images I choose to paint relate back to those times and places; the beaches and pools that I now only vaguely recall.
