Artist Statement

I paint the small things that make life feel big. My work captures the often overlooked moments that make us human - like spending time with your favourite chicken or relaxing in an inflatable pool.

I paint the small things that make life feel big. My work captures the often overlooked moments that make us human - like spending time with your favourite chicken or relaxing in an inflatable pool. I paint in bold, minimalist blocks of colour, where what’s left out is just as intentional as what’s put in. Working primarily in acrylics, I build each piece by hand, occasionally sketching concepts digitally to play with colour, shadow, and composition before it hits the canvas.

Each painting is a one-off original, designed to make you smile, pause, or feel seen - even if just for a moment.

Influences

I’m deeply influenced by the quiet joy of everyday life. The in-between bits that don’t make the highlight reel but stay with you anyway. Visually, I’m drawn to bold colour, negative space, and the kind of minimalism that still has personality. My inspiration comes from real people doing delightfully ordinary things: backyard sunbathers, dog walkers, bee keepers,
