"Reclining Blue Nude is a woodcut made after an oil pastel life drawing made in my studio.  I have been working on this project for a number of years as a part of my studio practice and am very pleased to show the very first piece with the Zuleika Gallery, London.  It was my aim to create the immediacy and spontaneity of my original line drawing in a larger piece that I hope can stand alone and speak for itself.  I have been looking at Tom Wesselman, Henri Matisse, Julian Opie and Jeff Koons among others whilst working on the woodcut."
