I've always been fascinated by the little things that make life interesting. The peculiar, the imperfect, the unexpectedly beautiful, and the stories hiding in perfectly ordinary moments.

My paintings tend to follow that curiosity. Some are playful, others a little nostalgic, and a few have a mischievous streak. I love bold colours, unusual details, and the freedom to let imagination take an otherwise familiar subject somewhere entirely unexpected.

Working primarily with acrylics and mixed media, I create original pieces that don't take themselves too seriously, even when there's something meaningful behind them.

I like art that makes people feel something. A smile, a memory, a question, perhaps even a little confusion. Something that makes them look twice.

And if a painting can make someone stop in their tracks, even for a moment, I think it's done something rather wonderful.
