This painting is based on my young adult daughter. There is very little likeness as I was going for a more generic portrait of young girls of today and their vision of their futures, their choices and their fears. The girl looks straight at the viewer with strength and determination but is surrounded by and almost choked by abstract shapes which suggest the turmoil and mental anguish I have witnessed in my daughters and their peers. The world today have given these young people so much choice and easy access to almost anything but in return presents them with confusion, mistrust and anger.

I have been painting for about 40 years. I started my career as a portraitist on commission but in the last 15 years I have expanded into figurative abstraction. I base my paintings on my two young adult daughters who are growing up and finding their way in a world that on the one hand offers them the choice and freedom I never had but also presents them with a precarious and frightening future which bewilders and angers them. This is what I want to express in my paintings: two young women who face a life where the earth is dying, our leaders are puppets, wars and injustice abounds and while they are educated, informed and strong they are unsure and frightened of the future. I base my figures on my daughters but i rarely end up with a likeness as it is not just about them, it’s about all young peoples experience. Apart from the faces and pose all other aspects of my paintings are from my imagination and evolve organically as I paint.
