SERIES

My subject matter varies, ranging from cut flowers and travel-inspired memories to subtle colour transitions, figurative works, and the way light filters through leaves. These themes often cycle and overlap, creating a dynamic and constantly evolving interplay within my practice.

ENQUIRE

ABSTRACT

Inspired by the vivid hues and luminous light of European summers, vibrant colour combinations and abstract shapes combine in this ongoing series of paintings. These reflect progression in my artistic thoughts and a shift toward a more expressive use of colour and form.

PLACE

Working from sketches and photos from travels, this evolving series celebrates memories of moments. Capturing sunlight, colour, and space, each painting transforms sensory impressions into expressions of place and emotion.

FLOWERS

Defined by expressive mark-making, organic forms, and vibrant colour palettes, these still-life compositions explore the passage of time through the motif of flowers. Emotive tones create an interplay of joy and melancholy and reflect the deep emotions tied to growth and loss.

SHADOW

Photography experiments exploring the effects of sun-light on pigments and surfaces. This project is spurred on by curiosity, and one that continues to evolve.
