My work is rooted in a deep belief that nature restores us. I know it has helped me through difficult times, and I paint with the hope that each piece carries something of that feeling into the rooms and lives of the people who live with it — a sense of calm, nostalgia, and quiet optimism.
Bold, expressive landscapes and seascapes in acrylics and mixed media — each one an invitation to pause, feel, and reconnect. I'm drawn to colour as a language of emotion: the way a certain light can lift your mood, or a familiar landscape can bring you straight back to yourself.
With a background in fashion design and event production, colour has always been how I think and feel. I work expressively, both in my studio in Hampton Hill and out in the world — from the parks and riversides on my doorstep to coastlines and landscapes further afield.
If a painting stops you for a moment and takes you somewhere good, it's done its job.
