In Low Tide, I explore the moment when the water recedes and what is left behind is exposed; fragmented, textured, and quietly charged with tension. Working in mixed media, I build up and disrupt the surface through layered washes, gestural marks, and scattered circular forms that echo stones, air bubbles, or remnants embedded in sand.

I use a muted coastal palette of sea-washed blues, greys, and chalky whites, interrupted by deposits of ochre and rust to suggest organic matter revealed by the ebb. The composition drifts between fluidity and abrasion: softer, tidal movements are countered by scratched lines and looping gestures that trace restless, circling thoughts.

Like the shoreline at low tide, I see this painting as a threshold between concealment and exposure. It reflects an internal landscape where clarity is fleetin; where patterns emerge, dissolve, and reconfigure; inviting a navigation between calm and undercurrent.

Beachcomber is a captivating abstract mixed-media piece that beautifully mirrors the sensory experience of wandering along a weathered coastline. The canvas is alive with a dynamic interplay of organic shapes, fluid lines, and a layered, tactile texture that evokes the shifting patterns of the shore.

In Vortex, I explore the pull of an unseen force; something both compelling and disorienting. The spiralling form draws the eye inward through layered, circular gestures, each ring built through repetition, instinct, and movement. The process becomes almost meditative, yet the result holds a quiet tension, as if the centre is both a point of focus and a point of collapse.

I work with a restrained, atmospheric palette; muted greens, greys, and soft violets; punctuated by subtle flashes of ochre that surface like interruptions in thought. The surface is worked and reworked, allowing traces of previous marks to remain, giving a sense of time, erosion, and persistence.

For me, this piece reflects the cyclical nature of inner experience; the feeling of being caught in patterns of thought or emotion, circling without clear resolution.

There is no fixed beginning or end; instead, the viewer is invited to enter the motion, to drift, and to feel the balance between calm immersion and the quiet intensity of being pulled inward. answer to the question.

Maelstrom is an abstract exploration of motion, depth, and psychological turbulence. The piece is dominated by a sweeping, oceanic spiral that pulls the viewer’s eye into a dark, enigmatic center.

A visceral core of deep indigo, stark white, and slate gray is disrupted by unexpected flashes of crimson and mossy green at the periphery.

The composition balances raw energy with deliberate mark-making. Fine, sketched concentric lines cut through heavy, urgent brushstrokes and scraped paint, creating a tangible sense of friction.

A visual metaphor for internal conflict, the relentless passage of time, or the overwhelming forces of nature.

Dark Peak is my personal tribute to the wild, brooding landscapes of the Peak District. Rather than painting a literal view, I wanted to capture the sheer atmosphere of the high gritstone moors, suspended between a heavy northern sky and the rugged terrain below.

​To bring this vision to life, I built up the composition using layers of deep charcoals, slate grays, and muted, icy blues to evoke the sweeping mist and low-hanging clouds. To break through this darkness, I dragged rich, earthy ochres and warm, copper-gold tones across the horizon, mirroring the sudden glints of sunlight catching wet peat, dead bracken, or exposed rock.

​Through a combination of sweeping brushstrokes and scraped, heavily textured layers, the surface of the canvas itself becomes an extension of the weathered, eroded qualities of the land. It is an invitation to experience the quiet, powerful beauty of a landscape shaped by the elements.
