Interior scene featuring a framed painting of a lush garden scene with colorful flowers and greenery. Emerging from the foliage the trusty garden bin - with the quiet message 'Don't forget to put me out!'

When I paint, I’m in a world of my own. Whether en plein air in a private garden, or tucked away in my studio, there’s a special kind of solitude that happens when it’s just me, the canvas and the passing of time.

I often find myself drawn to capturing the things I feel might otherwise go unnoticed. The quiet workhorses of life, like a faithful chair, a battered old gate or a weathered pot, illuminated by a fleeting shaft of light or casting an exquisite shadow across the room.

It seems right somehow to honour the objects and moments of life that truly shape our human experience. We may not always have the awareness to see them as we go about our busy lives but they nevertheless exist. We feel these moments without really knowing it. It’s that awareness that I love to express in my work.
