About my work

My work explores atmosphere, human connection and emotion through an impressionistic sensibility, with a focus on light, movement and restraint.

I am drawn to subjects that have a natural sense of refinement — coastal horizons, intimate gatherings and quiet, luminous moments that feel somewhere between observation and memory.

Rather than describing a scene in literal detail, I am interested in capturing its essence: the softness of reflected light, the presence of people within a space, and the feeling of a place that has been lived in and experienced. Through layered brushwork, nuanced colour relationships and softened edges, I create paintings that feel both immediate and considered.

There is always a strong narrative within my work, whether it is found in the relationship between the figures, the setting, or simply in the atmosphere of a particular moment. I’m interested in what is left unsaid — the suggestion of a story rather than a fully explained one, allowing the viewer to bring their own experience and interpretation to the painting.

Ultimately, I want my paintings to feel timeless and elevated, while still retaining a sense of warmth and intimacy. They are intended to create a mood and a feeling within a space — something quietly captivating that reveals more with time.
