Recent work
Each piece is unique and hand-painted — no two watercolours are ever quite the same.
From the studio
A closer look at the techniques and ideas behind each piece.
Working in fluid washes
Each watercolour builds up in thin, translucent layers — letting pigment and water find their own edges rather than forcing a hard line.
From timber to form
Bas-relief and wood sculpture start the same way every piece does here: with a quiet subject from nature, carved rather than painted.
Seasonal moods, quiet narratives
Animals, nature and the shifting seasons run through every technique — the common thread that ties the paintings and carvings together.
About the artist
