About Me

For me, landscape painting is a way to explore the deeply
personal relationship between humans and the natural
world. It’s not just about capturing a place, but about
connecting with it on an emotional level, translating that
connection through paint.

I’ve always been drawn to the idea that landscapes aren’t just geographical features - they are alive with memory, feeling, and history.
Every place has a story to tell, and I feel it’s my job to
listen and then share that story through my work.

I’ve always been fascinated by the way we experience
and interact with the land around us. Landscapes aren’t
neutral; they shape us as much as we shape them. The
light, the weather, the texture of the earth beneath our
feet—all of these elements stir emotions, stir memories,
and stir a sense of belonging or alienation.

The atmosphere of a place—whether it’s the soft, hazy light of
dawn, the sharp clarity of midday, or the moody stillness
of dusk—has the power to evoke a visceral response. It’s
this emotional interaction with the environment that I strive
to capture in my work.

My paintings aim to explore the identity of a place—not
just how it looks, but more specifically, how it feels to be
there. How does a landscape hold a memory? How does it
change over time, both physically and emotionally? I’m
always looking for that delicate balance between what we
see and what we feel, the tension between the literal and
the metaphorical.

The beauty of a landscape isn’t always
found in its obvious features; sometimes, it’s in the quiet
moments, the in-between spaces—the edges where land
meets sky, or where light plays with shadow.

I work from both direct observation and memory, often
combining the two to create a space where reality and
feeling coexist.

My use of colour and texture is influenced by my connection to the land I’m depicting. The brushwork and layering become a way for me to express the layers of
experience that accumulate in a place over time.

I want my work to feel like it’s alive, breathing, as though it’s part
of me and part of the landscape itself.

A key concern for me is the human connection to the
landscape. In today’s world, we can feel increasingly
detached from nature, whether through urbanization,
technology, or just the fast pace of modern life.

My paintings are an attempt to reconnect - to remind us of our
place within the natural world, not as separate from it, but
as part of it. There’s a quiet beauty in the way the land
endures, how it shifts with the seasons and yet remains
constant. It’s this sense of continuity and change that I
want to explore, to show that even as we navigate the
complexities of life, the landscape endures, offering us a
sense of grounding and perspective.

Ultimately, my work is an invitation to slow down and be
present in a place. It’s a reminder that we are all
connected to the land, that every place holds a story worth
listening to, and that beauty often lies in the quiet, intimate
moments that we might otherwise overlook.
