I’m an artist working in oils and pencil, with a practice centred around portraiture, figure drawing, and still life. I’m drawn to the quiet discipline of observation—studying light, form, colour, and the character that emerges through careful looking.
My work ranges from portraits and figure studies to small still life paintings, often exploring everyday objects and the atmosphere created by light and arrangement. I’m interested in capturing both likeness and presence—whether in a face, a figure, or a simple arrangement of objects.
Alongside my own studio practice, I teach art classes, demonstrations, and workshops in drawing and oil painting. I enjoy sharing practical techniques and helping others build confidence through observation, experimentation, and regular practice. My teaching is rooted in traditional skills with a contemporary twist, with an emphasis on creating a relaxed and encouraging space for people to develop their own way of seeing and making.
Whether through commissioned portraits, original paintings, or teaching, my work is grounded in a love of drawing, painting, and close observation from life.
If you’d like to enquire about commissions, classes, workshops, or available artwork, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
