"The coast's enduring allure lies in its ability to evoke profound emotions through shifting light and weather. My artistic purpose is to capture and convey the wonder I witness in these moments."
About
My work explores the meeting point between memory, motion and landscape. Inspired by the sea’s changing moods, I use oil paint to capture moments of atmosphere—where weather, light and emotion collide. Bold mark-making and contrasting colour allow me to balance abstraction with realism, inviting the viewer into a space that feels both familiar and evocative. Raised in a creative home and trained in design, my artistic voice blends precision with freedom.
