About the artist
A life beside the water
I paint because the world refuses to sit still. The light changes, the day takes its colour with it, and I have spent a lifetime trying to hold onto the ten minutes before it all goes.
The work moves between the coast and the quiet of the studio, but it always comes back to the same question: how to make paint hold a feeling long after the moment has passed.

The studio
Where it all happens
A quiet room kept for the work alone — years of paint on the floor, and a north window whose light decides how each day begins.
At work
The ten-minute rule
“If I can’t get the first marks down before the light shifts, it’s already gone. So I’ve learned to be quick, and forgiving.”
Up close
A record of its making
Layers reworked, buried and half-recovered until the surface itself tells the story of how the painting came to be.
The tools
A palette years in the making
The same brushes, the same jar of turpentine — the tools wear in until they feel like an extension of the hand.
First thoughts
Where a painting begins
Most pieces start as a small, quick sketch — a way of catching the idea before it slips away.
The archive
Years of looking
Finished work leans against the walls, a quiet record of every season spent chasing the same light.
