About

I create abstract paintings that explore balance, movement, and quiet change. My work is intuitive and develops slowly through layers of marks and subtle shifts in colour. I’m drawn to the space between movement and stillness, where forms can appear and fade naturally. I hope the work offers a sense of calm and space when viewed.

Bio

I’m a contemporary abstract artist based in Leamington Spa, UK. Working primarily in mixed media, my practice focuses on building paintings through observation, response, and ongoing adjustment rather than fixed planning.

I’m drawn to soft, muted palettes, often working with light neutrals, greys, and earthy tones. While the paintings can feel active, they remain restrained and considered, reflecting an interest in balance and quiet transformation. My current focus is on developing cohesive bodies of work that invite gentle reflection and open-ended engagement.

Process

In the studio, I work without a fixed plan, allowing the painting to guide each decision as it develops. I often spend time observing a work between sessions, responding to what feels unresolved or needs space. The process involves adjusting, reworking, and letting certain areas remain quiet, until the surface feels balanced. This way of working allows the painting to arrive gradually rather than being forced.
