I am always looking at what is around me; it might be a flower, a tree, a moment in nature that catches my attention. I am drawn to shape, colour and pattern, often looking closely at the detail that might otherwise be missed. I work primarily in watercolour, building each work in layers.

Recently, I have been developing a redacted process, where I work back into the surface using white acrylic. This allows the colour beneath to re-emerge in subtle and unexpected ways, creating depth and movement within the piece. While I often begin with a clear idea, the work naturally evolves as I paint. I am not interested in rigid outcomes. Instead, I allow the process to trigger my response, refining and adjusting until the painting feels right.

Time and stillness are important to my style. Some of my most fulfilling work comes from uninterrupted days in the studio, where I can fully immerse myself in my art. Outside of this, walking with my collie dog in the beautiful countryside and woodland where I live provides a constant source of inspiration.

There is a genuine connection between my work, nature and my faith. The sense of peace I find allows me to look more deeply, not just at what I see, but at how it feels. Painting offers me a sense of calm and focus. It is a space where I can step away from the noise and busyness of everyday life. I hope that through my art the viewer will experience something of that stillness.
