My work is a vibrant exploration of the landscape and seascape, abstracted through the lens of Abstract Expressionism and Fauvism. Drawing inspiration from the ever-changing power of the sea and the shifting moods of weather, I strive to capture not just a place, but an experience—one that is different every time I return to the shoreline.
Working en plein air, I immerse myself in the environment, responding directly to the light, atmosphere, and elemental energy around me. Colour theory guides my choices, but intuition leads my hand: each mark is a spontaneous reaction to the moment, shaped by the wind, the salt air, and the rhythm of the waves. My process is rooted in expressive, gestural mark making, allowing the painting to evolve organically as I layer bold hues and dynamic forms.
Influenced by the emotional immediacy of Abstract Expressionism and the vivid palettes of Fauvism, I use color and texture to evoke the vitality and unpredictability of the sea. My goal is to create work that invites viewers to feel the raw energy of nature and to experience the wonder of a landscape in constant flux.
Ultimately, my paintings are a celebration of movement, color, and the transformative power of the natural world, each one a unique response to the landscapes endless capacity for change.
