His paintings have been shown nationally and internationally and are in public, corporate and private collections.
My practice navigates the intersection of figuration and abstraction, drawing inspiration from the natural world. Colour, shape, and space are central to my expression, with the changing light of the landscape profoundly influencing my work. To capture transient moments and the interplay of light, I create drawings and watercolours on paper, often using sketchbooks and photography as tools for documentation. These visual records serve as references in the studio, but my process extends beyond mere reproduction; I look to distil the essence of each moment, allowing my paintings to develop from
The physicality of painting is integral to my approach. I employ a variety of brushes and techniques, sometimes applying paint with my hand. This process transforms initial marks into works that oscillate between the figurative and the abstract, inviting viewers to engage with the canvas and experience the dynamic relationship between figure and nature. My art aims to evoke an emotional response, encouraging viewers to embark on a sensory journey that transcends the tangible. Through my work, I invite contemplation of the boundaries between reality and imagination, celebrating the subtle beauty of the natural world and the expressive possibilities of paint.
