Graham always tries to produce paintings that uplift, inspire and give him hope for the future. In his recent oils he has explored a number of themes and would describe his body of work as a ‘celebration of life and living’. As he has drawn from his own experiences there are autobiographical elements, but his intention is that the characters appear as ‘every man’ and ‘every woman’. He likes a painting to have a story behind it and use humour and sentiment wherever he can as it is important for him to express emotion in all his work. He says if he can convey a feeling of optimism to the viewer then he will be very pleased.
In March 1996 Graham decided to commit himself totally to producing oil paintings and is presently registered as a self employed artist. He is also married with 2 children and now paints full time.
