Artist Statement

I am particularly drawn to the creation of atmospheric pieces that maintain a strong emphasis on drawing and structure. Exploration of light and its interplay with form serves as a foundation for my artistic practice, and allows me to create works that invite the viewer into a space of quiet contemplation. My portraits are guided by a narrative, whilst my landscapes strive to capture the inherent beauty of the natural world through careful consideration of colour, composition, and mark making.
