AbouT ME

I make oil paintings that explore light, stillness, and the fragile presence of everyday things. My work often depicts intimate, luminous images of ordinary light sources, lamps, bulbs, and fixtures, rendered in loose, fluid brushwork

Forms hover on the edge of recognition, evoking a quiet tension between presence and absence, clarity and uncertainty.

My subjects are familiar to the point of invisibility, yet the paintings suspend them in time. I don’t see them just as fixtures, but as still points in interiors that are otherwise always changing.

Light emerges not through depiction but through absence. In my pared-back process, I leave the lightest areas untouched and often rub or paint away pigment to expose the bright background beneath.

The paintings dwell in a suspended, uncertain space where quiet interior moments take on a heightened, almost reverent quality. They make room for what feels fragile, unresolved, or only just visible.

I studied at the Royal Academy Schools in London. I was shortlisted for the John Moores Painting Prize 2025 and Bloomberg New Contemporaries, and have exhibited with APT Gallery (Creekside Open), as well as in national and international exhibitions.
