These artworks are loosely inspired by some of the objects and artefacts in my life and home. The objects I find beautiful and the things that have meaning to me.

Welcome to this small online exhibition to mark the release of a new series of paintings. This new collection of abstract still-life paintings are inspired by some of the objects and things in my home…

New joyful and colourful paintings

Inspired by beautiful things…

I wanted these paintings to feel joyful and exuberant and full of delightful details.

I’m fascinated by the objects we travel through life with. Objects that we invite into our lives, into our homes and houses and our connection to those objects. These paintings celebrate that bond and are loosely inspired by some of the things in my home…and evolved from ideas I developed in my sketchbooks

Sketchbook Pages

My sketchbooks are where everything I make starts. They are the birthplace of all my art. They are where my ideas percolate and develop, collect and gather. My sketchbooks are where I experiment and where my ideas unfurl and take shape. They are where I get to understand myself as an artist and where I get to understand the things that excite me and make me curious…

My hope is that these abstract still life paintings bring a moment of joy and invite a smile. They are bold, bright and exuberant…
