About the Artist

I use still life to explore the beauty and diversity in simple objects, natural forms, flowers, and water. My eye is constantly drawn to the play of light through glass or petals, upon fabric or glossy surfaces and I am intrigued by the texture and contrasts that can be created by placing different objects and materials next to each other.

I enjoy taking realism to the edge of photorealism, but I also like to explore the abstract potential of objects. For example, in the form of scrunched up paper, or in the way water distorts colours. Occasionally there’ll be a hint of surrealism within my pieces burried with in the compositional structure. My intention is to capture the viewers imagination and engage both an emotional and intellectual response.

I hope that you enjoy these paintings as much as I hjave injoyed creating them!
