Artist bio

My paintings are visual expressions of experiences, feelings or place. Colour and form in the natural world inspire me endlessly. I paint in an intuitive way, working with the immediacy of watercolours, to create abstract and figurative artworks.

When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...

I'm often told my paintings invoke a sense of peace and calm.
