My artwork is driven by a deep connection to nature and a desire to capture the memories and emotions of the beautiful Wye Valley and Forest of Dean, where I live.
I'm inspired by the sensory world of plants, landscapes, changing seasons, and flowers, and my work moves beyond realism, embracing sculptural shapes that emerge through movement and expressive marks. Through layered textures and careful paint application, I work to enhances the interplay of highlights and shadows, bringing subjects to life, using a spray air-gun to build intricate layers that add depth and dimension to each piece. Using my love of colour, shape, and texture as the heart of every painting, thus I hope creating immersive and dynamic compositions.
Being an artist, is about feeling, observing, and transforming movement rather than strict realism for me.
Contemporary Painter exploring movement, texture, and form.
This year, I was accepted into and participated in an Artist Residency at Brison Veor in Cape Cornwall—a fantastic opportunity to paint on the dramatic Cornish cliffs and coastline. Also working closely with the Dean Heritage Centre on a new project, "Inspired by the Forest," after one of my paintings was publicly selected for inclusion. The project will be showcased throughout Gloucestershire.
