WELCOME
Contemporary oil paintings—
impressionistic, vibrant, and unapologetically quirky.
I build each piece with bold colour, lively brushwork, 
and a sense of character that’s more felt than over-explained.
Have a look around, 
and if something speaks to you, 
let’s talk.

Working with photography and digital images as a reference for painting, oil painting is the simplest to use, like swimming fish, colour here, colour there.
