I’m fascinated by how our perception changes over time. My art focuses on memories, encounters and recollected sounds. It means much of my inspiration comes from music, poetry, and memories of sounds.

A simple walk along the coast might be the basis of a painting. I will try and retrieve that memory, with a particular focus on the sound of lapping waves, the call of seabirds or the breeze.

My aim as an abstract artist is to recreate the sense of that memory in paint.

I have held solo exhibitions in Brighton and Birmingham. In June 2025 I held a solo exhibition at The Grange Gallery in Rottingdean, East Sussex.
