Misty teal and grey-green ground from which blooms of pink, red, orange and yellow emerge like flowers surfacing through fog, brightest at the centre and dissolving into shadow at the edges.

A warm coral and rose-pink field glowing around a luminous swirl of pale gold near the top, grounded by a deep charcoal horizontal band like a distant shoreline, with quiet flecks of teal. In Essence A turquoise sky strewn with pink blossoms above a sweeping ribbon of rust and cream, the lower half dripping into blue-grey and dotted with small red and pink marks. Life Happens Misty teal and grey-green ground from which blooms of pink, red, orange and yellow emerge like flowers surfacing through fog, brightest at the centre and dissolving into shadow at the edges.

In Motion

A silver-grey field crossed by a red sweep at the upper left, horizontal blue lines, pink vertical bars down the left edge, lime-green flecks and a trailing pink drip near the centre - marks caught mid-movement. Paint Dance A busy, layered composition with an orange splash at the upper left, a scumbled diagonal of magenta and pink through the centre, olive and ochre blocks, scattered blue and green dabs and a scraped pale passage cutting down the middle. Diversion Warm ochre and pink with pale gestural figures lifting through it. Dappled Light

Black, White & Lime

Earth & Atmosphere

View the collection →
Earthy geological strata in slate-blue, ochre, rust and cream, layered like eroded rock or banked cloud, with soft drips and a warm orange seam running along the top. Unearthed A dark ground set with jewel-like squares of turquoise, yellow and ochre like little lit windows, a sweeping pale dry-brushed arc across the upper third and a band of pink scribble below, flecked with blue and orange dots. Enchantments A dense, layered composition of turquoise, coral pink, ochre and charcoal, threaded with looping scribbled lines and faint script-like marks that surface and submerge across the canvas. Hidden persuasion

Quiet Tones

View the collection →
A heavily worked, textured surface in charcoal, smoke-grey and cream, scraped and built up in layers, with threads of pale yellow drifting through a hushed near-monochrome field. The Sounds of Silence A soft, atmospheric figure study of a standing nude rendered in muted greys, blues and cream, the paint thinned to drips, the body emerging tenderly from a hazy ground. Heart on Sleeve A figure softly rendered in greys and white, atmospheric and tender. This is Me

Moments in Time

View the collection →
Soft arcs of coral, pink and lime sweep across the top over black vertical drips, with a base of blue and teal - bright energy held by dark, steady roots. Grounded Soft horizontal bands of coral, grey and lime-green with pale drips falling through, warm pinks meeting cool greys. In between A small landscape: a band of turquoise sky above a dark horizon, a rose-pink foreground field dotted with yellow, and a column of teal and orange marks at the right. On the Horizon
