About me

I embrace the hands‑on, analogue processes I love. For me, Sketching is like going to the “visual gym”—a practice that sharpens observation and brings meaning to any subject. It is essential to my painting practice. I often sketch during everyday moments, and love using my car as a warm winter studio. I have a strong belief in experimentation and in finding a personal relationship with materials.

Anything I paint, I want to experience in real life, which

is why being outdoors in nature walking, sketching and soaking up the atmosphere is part of my practice. I believe it’s difficult to truly express something unless you’ve experienced it first-hand and this belief follows-

through to how I think art should be experienced too.

Painting has to be seen in real life to be properly experienced. When you see a painting in real life, the light, the textures, the scale and the painter's experience talk
to you.

I have painted since childhood and always intended to pursue an artistic career. After nearly twenty years as a graphic designer, I have recently transitioned to painting full‑time, encouraged by the experience gained through The Springline Project and the opportunity provided by a voluntary redundancy.
