Inside the studio

From a moment
to the canvas.

Most paintings begin with something that catches my eye — a place, a contrast of light and shadow, or an everyday moment.

Meet the artist

Painting what
catches my eye.

I have always been drawn to the shapes and contrasts created by light and shadow. I paint city streets, landscapes, harbours, interiors, gardens and scenes of everyday life. I do not try to record every detail. I simplify what I see and focus on the colour, shape and atmosphere that give a place its character.
