I adore working with lots of colour and I strive to find rare visual harmonies between tones throughout various moments within the composition. Painting has always been an extremely personal and isolated experience for me, being a meditative process. The pure experience of art personally exists not in looking at the final piece, but within the moment of every brush stroke – the application of medium to canvas.

‍

In the early stages I explored with painting solely from feel - detaching my conscious self from the hand that held the paint brush. Previously, every stroke had to be precise and had to develop into the specific final view that had been decided during composition. It took a lot of practice and experimentation to find my flow – the space in which I now exist in as I paint. In that moment I free the brush, with my eyes acting as a guide in the process.

‍

The less you think about each stroke, the more you enjoy the feel of what you’re looking at.
