An ongoing exploration of form, color, and perception
Work held in private and public collections.
The Collections
Red
Red Sky at Night is a series born during the COVID lockdown. Confined to home, I found solace on my balcony and inspiration in the sky. I spent hours watching clouds drift like slow caravans across the horizon as dusty pinks deepened into vermilion and every red in between..
Blue
Away from urban light pollution, I walk through woodland at sunset as light fades and contrasts soften. A quiet color palette emerges, shaped by shadows rather than form, dimness rather than clarity.
Ivory
This small series grew out of those hours of stillness, when I sought to capture the quiet dissolution of contrast, the way form softens when light is both everywhere and nowhere at once. Colour recedes, leaving only tone — a faint warmth, as if seen through mist or distance, through the gentle overexposure of a world not yet fully awake.
Each painting begins with a mark and unfolds over time
My Approach
My paintings are an inward reflection of how I see and feel about the outside world. Using bold, sweeping marks, I translate these intense feelings onto the canvas, creating a visual language that I hope, speaks directly to the soul.
Design is sought in moments of uncertainty, building upon marks that appear from the canvas.
I have learnt over time to find solace in the confusion and frustration, knowing, trusting that in this flux images will appear without warning or great fanfare. Like an old pair of lost jeans, the sight of which brings you shy comfort.
