I was honoured to be asked to select works for the ING Discerning Eye exhibition. An exhibition of such high standards and diverse interest, reflecting the tastes of its founder, the late Michael Reynolds who so inspired many of us with his great works and personality.

I drew on works from previous prize winners as well as from the open submission. All of which provoked immediate subjective response – figurative with qualities deserving greater attention, and also working well with the small scale required. I enjoyed the whole experience as I hope will all the visitors to the exhibition.
