I am an artist dedicated to capturing the depth of human emotion and the essence of nature. My background in IT, management, and volunteering in mental health, social, and environmental organisations has deeply influenced my approach to art. In 2020, I transitioned to being a full-time artist, drawing from a diverse career that informs my intricate and thoughtful work.

I believe in the profound value of art, not only as an observational medium but as a tool for self-challenge and refining perception. My work spans portraiture, landscapes, and abstracts. The common approach being to capture the essence and spirit of my subjects. At heart, I am a colourist; I literally wear 'rose-tinted spectacles,' which help with my dyslexia, but not always with the stereotyped optimistic outlook on life. I aim to create art that invites viewers to engage deeply, challenging them to explore and interpret the underlying emotions and messages.

Portraiture: In my portraits, I aim to capture the shape, proportion, and essence of my subjects, going beyond mere photographic representation to reveal deeper emotional truths. I often work from life, supplemented by technology, to achieve these insights.

Landscapes: My landscape paintings combine multiple observations of a location, creating images that convey the power and spirit of the areas I portray. I particularly enjoy working on larger canvases to bring these landscapes to life.

Abstracts: In my abstract works, I explore complex themes such as climate change and human impact on the environment. These pieces invite personal interpretation, encouraging viewers to delve into the subject matter and reflect on broader societal issues.

I employ a variety of mediums, including oils, acrylics, digital art, and occasionally watercolours. This versatility allows me to explore different textures and effects, enhancing the depth and impact of my work (but I do like oils).

I hope that my work demonstrates an ability to capture complex emotions and environmental themes through diverse artistic expressions. I am committed to engaging deeply with my subjects and challenging viewers to reflect on broader issues intending to have impact and be thought-provoking. I invite viewers to explore the essence of my subjects and search for the profound messages underlying my work.
