I am a contemporary painter exploring Landscape through surface, colour, and structure.

​

My work explores the space between observation and interpretation, where place is not fixed but felt. I build surfaces through acrylic, oil, and collage, allowing each material to hold its own presence within the composition.

​

I am drawn to moments of pause: a street corner, a garden, a shoreline. These are not rendered as exact depictions, but re-formed through colour, structure, and gesture. Familiar elements—architectural forms, planted spaces, horizons—become a framework from which the image can move and change, shifting between the real and the imagined.

​

The gradual development of the surface is central to my work. Painted passages sit alongside cut and printed materials, creating a dialogue between control and chance. Edges are revealed, interrupted, or reworked, allowing the piece to retain a sense of its own making. Metallic elements introduce a changing quality of light, so the work continues to shift in different conditions.

​

Across my practice, I return to the idea of composition as a kind of language—whether through the geometry of an urban street or the fluid movement of water and sky. Each piece balances structure and openness, inviting a slower way of looking, where meaning emerges gradually through colour, rhythm, and pattern.

​

​For me, painting is less about documenting a place and more about holding the feeling of being within it.​
