I’m a passionate watercolour painter of landscapes, cityscapes, and interiors.

I love the immediacy of watercolour and its infinite magical subtleties. In my mind, there’s no better medium for capturing the fleeting play of light across a scene. 

An energetic, bold directness characterises my approach to painting. I don’t seek to create an exact representation but try to capture and evoke a distinctive sense of mood, drama, and atmosphere.
