My paintings explore my connection to the natural world and the experience of being immersed in it. I’m drawn to changing light, weather, water, and the heightened colours that appear across the seasons, often using these observations as a starting point for work that moves between representation and abstraction.
Working primarily in oil and acrylic on wood panel, I build each painting through layers of transparent and opaque colour. Bold marks create structure, while softened passages suggest movement, reflection, and atmosphere. Rather than describing a landscape exactly, I’m interested in capturing the feeling of being there and leaving space for the viewer’s own memories and experiences.

This exhibition brings together finished paintings and works on paper to trace the ebb and flow of an artistic practice. Large-scale paintings anchor the space, while a series of pinned sketchbook pages and studies reveal the thinking, revisions, and quiet decisions that shape each work.
Presented as both outcome and journey, the exhibition invites viewers to slow down, linger, and consider the value of small moments alongside larger gestures. In an educational setting, the work offers an open view into process — embracing uncertainty, intuition, and the layered labor of making.
