LITTLE STORIES EVERYWHERE
This collection has taken me toward representational imagery. Always starting intuitively, with no preconceived idea, these 18 paintings pushed my abstract edges and eventually revealed themselves as a story to tell.
This collection further explores a process I’ve developed that evokes a sense of aged vintage, depth and character to the surface.
UNTETHERED
These five large pieces allowed me to express some musings about Life. Relational attachments and more.
A slice of life, and painted collection I hope to learn and expand more on. These pieces are deep with texture & layers derived from mixed media.

ADAPTATION
These wistful and juicy pieces were born from much variance in direction. I struggled initially with too much complexity of composition, trying to replicate something I’d achieved before.
Submitting eventually to the fundamental, enjoyable flow of paint and brush. Then, I extended the process to oil paint, for more depth and balance to it’s ethereal quality.
LET IT FLOW was my lesson in painting this collection which inspired a 3mtr commission for a client who loved them too.
RETROSPECTIVE PROCESS
I’ve had a varied working life. Hospitality, movie set-painter and small business owner. A beautiful family life along the way, eventually coming to a place of wanting to paint again. My self-taught abstract process is born from a sound knowledge of paint & design while holding intuition & spontaneity in high regard in trusting the process to find my way.
