I am a contemporary painter based in London and the South.
I love painting directly from observation, working in the light of the environment and allowing the subject to be discovered as I paint. Much of my practice revolves also around drawing - working from life in sketchbooks and bringing these back to the studio to develop into paintings. I feel a real interest in 19th Century artists such as George Bellows and the Ashcan school, whose aims regarding the observation of the world as we find it, are not dissimilar to my own. I am passionate about the drawing and painting from observation, and have since my early years, been fascinated with figurative painting.
Having studied initially in Florence, Italy, I’ve since attended both the University of Brighton and most recently, the Royal Drawing School in London.
