Painting reveals more than it records
Every painting begins with something returned to.
The subject provides the starting point.
The relationship between the painter and the subject shifts.
What remains is the painting.
How the Work Begins
Some subjects refuse to let go.
They may begin as a landscape, portrait or object.
Others begin with a memory or meditation.
Through colour, structure and composition
the subject is simplified, reordered and rebuilt.
The finished painting is not an imitation of the world
or a departure from it.
It is what remains of the transformation.
PLACE
Landscapes, architecture and interiors shaped
by observation, memory and the identity of place.
Light, colour and composition reshape the experience of
what is seen.
PRESENCE
Portraits, figures, interiors and still life shaped by relationships between
people, objects and space.
Colour, composition and form transform the relationships between forms.
BEHIND THE WORK
The work begins before the work begins.
Painting begins with attention.
The rest follows.
Read the Artist Statement.
COMMISIONS
A limited number of painting commissions are undertaken each year.
Whether inspired by a landscape, a significant place or a personal subject,
each commissioned painting begins with conversation, careful observation
and a shared understanding of what matters most.
ORIGINALS
These paintings begin with subjects the artist continues to return to.
A selection of original paintings is available to
private collections, interior spaces and exhibitions.
Collectors are invited to enquire about available works.
