Art that creates moments of presence in a world that constantly pulls us away from ourselves.

These paintings are born from a season of stillness and solitude.

Working in oils on board and canvas, I found myself returning again and again to the same luminous ground, vast and atmospheric, holding fragments of form at its threshold. Not quite landscape, not quite figure, something suspended between the known and the unknown. I think of these works as existing at the veil, that place between worlds, between states of being, between the self we perform and the self we actually are.

The series emerged from a period of reflection and inward listening. A slowing down. A returning to what matters. I began with the colours I had and discovered that limitation is its own kind of freedom. Each painting became less about control and more about listening, to the paint, to the surface, to the particular quality of silence that makes a mark feel true rather than merely skilful.

I create atmospheric abstract paintings that explore light, depth and emotional fields through layered transparent glazes. Each piece is an invitation to pause, breathe, and connect with something deeper. My work is held in private collections across the UK and Europe.
