I have enjoyed painting for as long as I can recall and found my love for art during my teen years at school. I was tutored in pastels and self taught in acrylic and oils.
As a painter I enjoy finding the delicate balance between realism and impressionism and creating harmony in the connection between light, texture, and movement in the landscape. I love the texture of sunlit grass, the play of light sweeping landscapes and the myriad of colours in reflections and water. To capture these, my painting process is a balance between allowing the paint to flow and blend organically through glazing, texturising with a palette knife, or exercising precision and intention in my brushwork.
It is my hope that my paintings inspire others to appreciate the intricate beauty that surrounds us every day.
