About me

I’m a London-based painter and journalist whose creative journey has evolved from shaping stories in words to expressing them through colour and light.

 

After many years editing news at publications such as The London Evening Standard, The Observer and The i Paper, I now dedicate myself fully to painting — a pursuit that allows me to explore the natural world in a more intuitive and emotional way.

​

My work is rooted in an exploration of our connection to nature and its power to influence our sense of wellbeing. Through shifting layers of colour, texture, and light, I aim to create paintings that feel uplifting and restorative — visual spaces that reflect the quiet, transformative experience of being outdoors.

 

Drawing inspiration from the countryside near my home, as well as from memories of places I’ve lived or travelled, my paintings move fluidly between abstraction and representation.

 

Each piece begins with a real landscape but becomes something more universal — a distillation of how it feels to be in nature rather than how it looks.

 

I’m endlessly fascinated by colour — how placing one hue beside another changes its mood and energy — and I’m always searching for bold, unexpected combinations that evoke emotion.

 

I work primarily in acrylics, using a mix of palette knives, brushes, and improvised tools to build texture and depth, capturing both the serenity and dynamism of the natural world.
