I am painting mostly in acrylics (gouache), and my paintings feature landscapes, people, portraits and animals. I was born and work in Oxford and started painting in 2021. I particularly enjoy painting landscapes including Oxford, Dorset, Cornwall, Provence, France and Tuscany, Italy. I also draw and paint portraits of children, adults and animals. I have started to experiment with more abstract themes and hope to develop this in the future. I also paint from my imagination, creating strange new worlds.

My paintings are typically colourful and sometimes contain references to artists that I admire. Can you spot any of these and guess the artist! I feel that I am still developing my style and am excited to try new projects in the future. I was commissioned to do a portrait of a baby (in black and white) and also pets and houses in 2021to 2023. At the moment I am working on a book cover for a book about the music festival in Aix, France. My paintings are typically A3 size or smaller and I produce good quality prints of my works in A3, A4 and A5.

I hope you will be able to come and see my work during Oxford Artweeks and look forward to meeting you.
