Chilled Goose in Sweet Kingdom
Bursting with personality and charm, this playful scene captures the mischievous energy and hopeful anticipation of wildlife meeting innocent childhood moments.
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.
