About the artwork and sitter
This self portrait shows the artist at work in his studio, with a half finished painting containing the Story Bridge.
“The painting reflects myself in my studio at home where I always end up with paint on me. This is where the magic happens. I paint in my studio every day. My favourite colour orange is on my studio walls and I’m surrounded by the antiques and curios that I collect.”
