Colour and light are the starting points of my practice. They shift mood, hold memory, and quietly transform how a space is experienced. I am drawn to in-between moments, when pigments meet and something unexpected emerges. Inspiration often begins with close attention to the everyday: a walk in nature, an unexpected colour relationship, or blooms caught just before they fall.

Working primarily from life, my studio practice balances intuition with deliberate observation. Painting directly from a subject brings immediacy and a certain urgency. The changing light demands responsiveness, inviting decisions that are both instinctive and considered. While oil painting on canvas forms the core of my practice, I also work with drawing and resin on panel, allowing each material to open different ways of exploring colour, surface, and structure.

Flowers remain a recurring source of inspiration. Their unfolding forms hold a sense of movement, resilience, and quiet joy. Colour itself is equally central. In some series, pigments are blended systematically into gridded or pixelated structures that examine the relationships between hues. In others, colour is applied more freely through expressive brushwork and unexpected combinations.

Across these varied bodies of work, colour acts as both structure and emotion. Through painting, I explore how colour, light, and observation can translate the vitality of the natural world while reflecting my own sense of wonder within it.
