Paul Klee said: A line is a dot that went for a walk.

"That thought makes me smile. I imagine my dots to dance!"

My love of rich, expressive oil paint is reflected in the layered surfaces and energetic presence of my paintings. Working from sketches, memories, and impressions of the natural world, I create abstracted scenes that are personal, playful, and emotionally resonant. Through colour, gesture, and texture, I seek to capture a sense of vitality and connection rather than a literal representation.

Painting is a conversation. I use a wide range of marks, tools, and techniques, allowing the paint to lead as much as I do. By embracing unexpected moments and responding intuitively throughout the process, each work develops its own character and rhythm. This ongoing dialogue between painter and painting results in works that are layered, engaging, and deeply personal.

My studio is located in the Old Calf Pens at Friars Court in Clanfield, Oxfordshire. Nestled within a working farm and surrounded by beautiful gardens, it sits alongside a local florist and pottery studio. It is a place of creativity, community, and constant inspiration, providing the perfect setting for my practice.

I invite you to explore the work and join the conversation.
