My paintings are inspired by the ever-changing play of light on the landscape. Rather than simply recording a place, I seek to capture a feeling—an atmosphere—that invites the viewer to step in and bring their own experiences to the creative journey. Traveling and painting en plein air allows me to immerse myself in a location, distilling its essence through watercolour sketches and preliminary studies. Back in the studio, these become the springboard for bold, vibrant paintings where colour and energy take centre stage, transforming fleeting moments into expressive, dynamic works of art.
