01
Harbour Light
Twelve paintings made over two winters by the water. The same view, never the same colour.
See the series
02
Rooms
Interiors remembered rather than observed. Doorways, chairs, the light that falls across a floor at four o'clock.
See the series
03
Weather Diary
Small works on paper, one for every day of a year. Shown together for the first time in 2026.
See the series
I paint slowly, in the hours when the light is leaving. Each canvas is a record of a room, a window and a few minutes that will not come back. I would like the paintings to be as quiet as that.
