I was a decent student in most subjects, but art was always my favourite. There was something so beautiful and messy about it and while I learned the technical side of drawing and painting, I was never exceptional, technically. I preferred to ‘colour outside the lines’.
I was fortunate to be born with a mentor. My mother is an incredible artist and taught me the fundamentals of painting. She provided the right level of critique and pointed out when a painting was under or overworked and that in art and life, there are very few real mistakes. Often you can take a different direction or if things are going nowhere, start again.
Some of my favourite techniques were discovered by accident and my favourite moments in art and life are when I let things go and follow the direction that feels right. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn’t, but it keeps things interesting.
Every brushstroke tells a story, every color sets a mood. These paintings come alive when experienced in person—immersive, textured, deeply personal.
No screen can capture the depth, energy, or movement of a painting. Standing before one, you feel its essence and the emotions that shaped it.
Behind every piece is a journey—moments of inspiration, and stories woven into the canvas. If you'd like to see them up close, let's connect and share in the art together.
