About Me

My love of creating has always been connected to spending time outdoors. Whether I’m walking through the countryside, exploring the coastline or simply noticing the details in my everyday surroundings, I’m constantly collecting ideas. The repeating lines of a hedgerow, the texture of weathered stone, the shape of a shell or the delicate structure of a leaf can all become the starting point for a new piece of work.

Back in the studio, these observations are transformed through painting and mixed media. Rather than creating an exact representation of a place, I’m interested in capturing its atmosphere, rhythm and the feeling it leaves behind. My work often sits somewhere between landscape and abstraction, allowing each painting to evolve naturally through layers of colour, texture and mark-making.

Experimentation is at the heart of everything I create. I enjoy working intuitively, allowing materials and processes to guide the direction of each piece. By building layers, introducing texture and embracing the unexpected, every artwork develops its own character.

I work with a combination of paint, paper and mixed media, using techniques that create a balance between deliberate decisions and organic chance. It’s this unpredictability that keeps my practice exciting and ensures that every painting is unique.

I’m fascinated by the way small details come together to create something much larger. Tiny marks, repeated patterns and subtle changes in texture gradually build into compositions that invite closer observation. I hope my work encourages others to slow down, take a second look and appreciate the beauty found in the natural world.
