After years of writing for theatre, where every gesture and silence had to earn its place, I moved into painting. It felt like a sudden shift, but in hindsight it had been building for a long time. Letting go of words for me opened up a more direct way of working.

In the studio, painting is both grounding and unpredictable. The process with all its circling, adjusting and responding still echoes writing. But instead of dialogue, the work develops through colour, texture and form. There’s a constant negotiation between control and letting things happen.

Each painting grows out of an exchange between the world around me and an internal response to it. I’m interested in the space where perception becomes something less defined, where what we see and what we feel begin to overlap. Rather than fixing an image too quickly, I let it evolve until it holds a certain tension and clarity at the same time.

My studio is in the French countryside of Le Berry. This landscape with its quiet, its shifts in light and its weather, continues to shape the work. 
While the setting offers isolation, I also value direct encounters. Visitors are welcome to come see the paintings in person, including works that never appear online. Experiencing them in the studio brings out their scale, surface and physical presence in a way that online images can’t.

If you’d like to visit, feel free to get in touch. I’d be glad to meet you.
