About the artist

​I have been painting since 2000. 

​

My still-life paintings aspire to - and are inspired by - the work of the hyperrealists. These pieces represent an ongoing exploration of the constants of life that connect us all as human beings: cherished objects, childhood memories, food, the kitchen and so on.

​

My work is underpinned by my long-held fascination with the interplay of light and dark, positive and negative space and the power of light to define the surfaces across which it travels. I hope these works bring a sense of connection and a bit of light into your life.

 

See you around the studio.
