Mostly abstract and minimal in composition and colour palette, I hope my paintings offer a moment to pause and a sense of calm.

Created with acrylic, ink, charcoal, and oil sticks, using a variety of tools to create marks and textures that have a tactile nature. My aim is to build moods and compositions that feel strong and delicate, peaceful and bold. Each painting strives to convey and settle into a balance of these energies.

My paintings are developed intuitively, and are predominantly abstract, often with suggestions of coastal seascapes. I take inspiration from the ocean, particularly wild coastal landscapes in the South West of England, and I’m currently exploring the sense of spaciousness, both visually and emotionally, that these places offer.
