A practice built through attention, weather, and repeated looking.

My paintings grow out of direct observation and the slower discipline of staying with a place long enough for its structure, atmosphere, and movement to become clear.

I move between outdoor studies, portrait work, and studio-led compositions, but the center of the practice stays the same: attention to light, a respect for pace, and a belief that painting can remain quiet without becoming passive.

I treat each painting as a conversation between immediate experience and later editing. Outdoor studies help me understand how light shifts across a form, how distance compresses color, and how atmosphere can alter the emotional weight of a scene in only a few minutes.

Back in the studio, that information is not copied literally. It is reorganized. I keep the directness of the first encounter, but I also allow structure, memory, and rhythm to guide what remains on the surface. The result is not reportage. It is a slower, distilled version of what the eye first noticed.

Plein air approach

Plein air painting is where I test my decisions against time, weather, and changing conditions. It asks for speed, but also clarity: what matters in this moment, what can be left out, and what must be held onto before the light disappears.

Upcoming sessions

These sessions are shared in a small-group format. Dates and exact meeting points are confirmed directly by enquiry.

Light study session focused on value grouping, quick block-ins, and editing the scene under time pressure.

Weekend afternoon

Urban observation session built around architectural rhythm, moving figures, and simplified perspective.

By monthly notice

Extended painting meet focused on color temperature shifts, atmosphere, and resolving a study into a finished panel.
