A little bit about me...

With more than 25 years in advertising and running my own agency, my life has always been guided by creativity and visual storytelling.  But agency life wasn't filling me with joy and painting remained my truest and most personal creative passion.
 

So, I left that all behind me and returned to the studio and my work moved towards abstract art — a way of painting that allows me to respond intuitively to colour, texture, emotion, and presence.
 

My paintings are inspired by the world around us and the way we, as humans, interact with the planet — in beautiful, complex, and often surprising ways.  I’m especially drawn to using bright colours in my work, and I love exploring how it can express energy, connection, tension, and joy - all the human emotions.
 

Alongside my own practice, I also mentor and teach other artists, sharing what I’ve learned and encouraging them to discover their own voice and freedom within abstract expressionist painting.
