About Me

My studio is a place of play, experimentation and discovery — a space where observation and imagination can exist together.

My work moves through a wide range of subject matter, including everyday objects, interiors, people and abstraction. I love to give my figures a touch of whimsy or an altogether re-imagined form. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, I occasionally incorporate elements of collage. I’m drawn to the emotional resonance of ordinary life, and the quiet beauty often hidden within it.

I’m interested in work that holds both structure and spontaneity, familiarity and surprise. Whether representational or abstract , I hope my work carries a sense of energy, connection and openness.
