My creative process is rooted in intuition and expressive mark making. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, I approach each canvas as an exploration, layering and removing paint to evoke atmosphere and emotion rather than literal representation. Guided by instinct, my paintings evolve organically, allowing the interplay of colour, texture, and gesture to reveal the essence of a place and my personal response to it. The act of painting becomes a journey, with each work taking on a life of its own as I distil fleeting impressions and memories into visual form. 

Inspired by the rolling hills and valleys of the Cotswolds where I live, I draw on the rhythms of nature observed during my walks and sketches in the countryside. The changing seasons and subtle shifts in light and landscape inform my practice, creating an ongoing dialogue between the environment and my abstract paintings.

I graduated with a degree in fine art from the University of Gloucestershire in 2014 and am based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire where I have a studio. I am a member of the Cheltenham Group of Artists and the Sixteen Collective group of artists.  My work is held in collections in the UK and overseas.
