About Me
I am an artist based in Nottingham, United Kingdom.
My work explores dreamlike states and mysterious moods through bold brushstrokes and vivid colours, inviting the viewer to drift away into a magical world.
I am inspired by unusual subjects and the beauty of nature. My favourite subjects to paint are birds, animals, insects, foliage, flowers and cakes.
In the process of creating my paintings, I follow my gut feeling and capture my subconscious by putting intense emotion into my brushstrokes so that I can convey both the energy of the subject and the euphoria and deep connection I feel when I paint to the viewer. I like to experiment with colour and use different techniques to express the mood of the painting I have imagined. My preferred medium is oil paints, but I also like to work with mixed media techniques.
