I am a contemporary painter based in London. My paintings are inspired by the natural world, particularly by the shape and colour of landscape and nature. Through walking, sketching, and photography, I find ways to capture the essence of a place and convey my experience of being in it. From my local woodland, a constant source of inspiration for many years, alongside more unfamiliar places, I explore ways to represent the everchanging landscape and my experience and memory of place.

I use acrylic paint, inks, painted collage, and drawing media such as charcoal and oil pastel. The paintings gradually evolve through layering; areas are often masked and re-instated, yet traces of the underlying layers always remain, recording the history of the painting. Shifts in space, form, colour and light move the paintings towards abstraction, but they are always grounded in the truth as I see it.
