I am curious and hopeful. I believe that art is transformative for the artist and the viewer.

I am a lover of travel. Wherever I go I paint what moves me. It is often not a realistic take but rather something imbued with emotion and memory. You will find places and buildings you recognise but they are always a little altered by my experience of them.

Coldwax medium and oil paintings of texture and colour. Sometimes these are pure reflections of emotion or mood. Sometimes they are explorations in colour combinations. Sometimes they are abstractions of land or sea.

Biography
I am a painter of the real and the abstract. Working in both oils and acrylics, introspection and observation are an integral part of my process. My visual language is sensitive yet bold. I love being able to create freely without the constraints of labels defining me as either a figurative artist or an abstract artist. My paintings are my response to external and internal stimuli.
I started painting 11 years ago and am mainly self taught. I love developing my skill set through workshops and courses and taking that technical input home to develop into something that works for me. I have been working professionally for the last five years and have exhibited in London, Germany and Kent.
