I am a self-taught, UK-born artist.
Having lived and worked in Manchester, Mauritius and Gibraltar, then spending several years on the warm island of Malta, I am now based in Boulder, Colorado, where the landscape and sense of space continue to shape my work in new ways.
Since leaving Mauritius, my work has evolved through a deeper connection with the people I create for. Collaborating with clients to bring something personal into their space, while staying true to my own expression, remains one of the most meaningful parts of my practice.
I have experienced a number of profound and transformative moments. One being a vision quest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, camping alone in the wilderness for four days and four nights with no food, only water. Another walking solo on the Via di Francesco from Florence, through Assisi to Rome.
I am drawn to the intangible, to what is felt but not easily explained. My paintings begin with emotion, often shaped by alternative perspectives that lean into something more spiritual.

Working the contrasts of depth, texture & luminosity with a slightly obsessive edge, intricacy & layering. I choose to take you on a journey of the cosmos around me & the discovery of art being a spiritual experience
Inspirations for me are found within the colours of nature; such as the iridescence of a paua shell or reflected light underwater. Meditation & music also help inspire me to create
I have become part of several art consultancies & interior design platforms serving a more commercial & high end luxury customer base
Exhibiting predominantly online has been beneficial for me though occasionally I enjoy supporting a local exhibition

Building professional relationships which work amiably when dealing with new clients & commissions are gratifying, stretching my abilities especially when working on evolving criteria & critique to a tight deadline
Staying open minded to a piece progressing organically rather than holding onto a fixed idea of the end result has been imperative to working on commissions
Being fluid has been essential to my growth & confidence. Working this way has been auspicious, each piece of art feeling like my best work
I spent time in the beautiful Dechen Choling Shambhala Retreat Centre on a Dharma Art Course in the gorgeous surroundings of Limoges, France.
Of all the work we did there, getting out of my comfort zone, playing with calligraphy & frustrating installations... the main thing I bring back home is being comfortable, happy with myself & accepting being an artist....
I met the most wonderful warm & friendly people. I highly recommend anyone wanting to be brave to go for it, try something new!!!
