I make visceral paintings, these are time and process-driven. Paintings that evolve through chance encounters between mark and colour. Surfaces are built, erased, and rebuilt, often heavily layered to reveal the history, doubt, and persistence of decision-making. I work across many canvases simultaneously, allowing ideas to shift fluidly between scales and stages.

Sketchbook drawings from travels, observations of urban and natural landscapes, written notes, patterns, rubbings, photographs, newspapers, and found objects often spark beginnings, and sometimes these fragments make their way directly onto the surface. Yet the paintings ultimately emerge through the physical act of making—pouring, blotting, masking, scraping, and scratching - each piece nudged incrementally toward a state of resolution.

This layered approach, where gestures accumulate into something both intimate and expansive, drives my practice. I create small collage pieces and works on paper in series, before moving into larger canvases up to two metres long. These paintings are forged through resistance, their surfaces concealing earlier struggles until a final layer or pour of oil paint transforms them. That decisive act, at once violent and vital, echoes rhythms of nature, the body, and time.
