Born and raised in Cornwall, I studied Fine Art at Winchester School of Art before returning home, where the Cornish landscape continues to shape and inspire my practice. Working in oil paint, I explore traditional landscape painting in a contemporary context, focusing on perception, atmosphere and emotional connection to place. My paintings examine the intricate relationship between nature and the self.

 

Driven by the compulsion to visually communicate my experience of the world around me, I use painting to process and reflect on my surroundings. My work serves as a form of mediation between myself and the environment, allowing me to navigate and bring order to everyday life. Each brushstroke becomes a way of processing experience, turning chaos into structure. My art is an expression of personal perspective, a way to understand and reflect the world as I perceive it. Through my paintings, I aim to capture the essence of what I experience and bring clarity to the noise of daily life. By shaping these observations and emotions into visual form, I strive to find peace and meaning within my surroundings, ultimately allowing me to share a deeper, more intimate understanding of my experience of the world with others.
