We live in strange times. Nothing is quite the same any more. Everything we used to believe in and trust now seems in question. We doubt what we are being told and are unsure where the truth lies. Words are constantly subject to spin. Loyalties are in question and government listen to lobbyists, take advice from foreign banks and billionaires and seem more removed from us than ever. The world seems to be run by huge corporations who make vast amounts of money in profit every year and never seem accountable.

In response, I have started a collection of paintings called Smoke & Mirrors.
