My paintings aim to invite moments of quiet reflection and contemplation. I am deeply inspired by the effects of light and the subtle narratives conveyed through the human face. Capturing a moment of ordinary life, something fleeting that is easily forgotten or a glimpse into the mind of another is something to treasure, it’s something real and something meaningful. When taking portrait commissions it is an honour to be able to do this for others and give them something to hold onto and keep coming back to for many years ahead.
