Meet the artist
"When I stand before a canvas, I never know what I'll do, and I am the first one surprised at what comes out." ~ Joan Miro
I am a self-taught artist, based in London. In April 2022, I found some art materials clearing out my Dad's house - oil paints and surfaces - and I produced my first oil painting. I liked the result, really enjoyed the process and I have not looked back since. I paint nearly every day and hope to never stop. I paint whatever comes into my head or falls from the brush, as I like to say. I hardly ever sit down to paint with a firm plan in mind and will generally follow the paint when an image appears to me. I have developed my technique since that first painting, trying lots of different styles and learning from every painting. More recently, I have begun to specialise with painting animals - I love getting into their character and bringing it out into the painting and have received a few commissions for pet portraits, which has been great. Check out the pet portraits in the gallery.
I'd love to hear from you to talk about my artwork, or to discuss a commission, please get in touch.
