Drawing
Drawing is at the centre of my practice. It is how I think, how I look, and how I stay close to what matters. There is something in the slow accumulation of mark and line — the sustained attention it demands — that I find nowhere else.
Trees
During the winter months, when the trees stand lone, large, and sentinel, bare against empty horizons — their branches ticking with the wind, counting moments passing — I am often led to consider the passage of time and how it moves uniquely for all.

The Fourth Estate
Drawing representational imagery sourced from the media, these images serve as a bridge to abstract paintings — a synthesis of reality and abstraction, reflecting the dynamic relationship between perception and the media's influence on it.
