As an artist, I’m creating art pieces that try to capture the essence and soul of my subjects through a unique blend of watercolour and mixed-media techniques to achieve unique textures and effects.

I try to use colour to create impressionistic and abstract pieces that often feel more authentic and evocative than a photograph. I frequently use watercolours, pencils, charcoal, ink, and pens to bring my visions to life, although I’ll try anything that makes an interesting mark on the canvas!

Working with watercolour in particular is like watching a magic show and then realising you’re the magician! The unpredictable flow and blending of colours create surprising and miraculous effects.

Inspired by the boldly creative teachers Susie Murphie and Jodi Graham, I’ve used elements from nature as both the source of the pigment and the tools for to apply them!

For some of my pieces, I have prepared the surface by rubbing it into the dirt to incorporate colour, and I have also scratched the surface to create interesting textures.
Additionally, I have utilized natural elements such as branches, leaves, and twigs to apply paint and ink.
