‘I am an abstract painter. I paint intuitively, allowing my work to evolve as I create. I am passionate about translating the vibrant and ever-changing elements of the landscape and natural world into my art. The shifting light, weather and seasons captivate me, influencing the dynamic and colourful scenes that I create.

I primarily use acrylics and mixed media which offer me the versatility to explore textures and layers. I enjoy the tactile experience of applying paint, experimenting with different colours and textures and seeing how they interact. Each piece is a combination of drawn and painted marks. The compositions evolve through the meticulous layering and building of textures and colours, aiming to encapsulate the essence and atmosphere of a particular place or moment in time. This process allows me to translate the ephemeral beauty of nature into a physical work. The paintings often emerge without a predetermined plan or end goal, embracing spontaneity. My work is a celebration of the vibrant, layered and textured world we live in and my love of mark making.’
