My practice centres on narrative paintings that feel like film stills or time capsules, where history, memory, and atmosphere converge. Drawing from my background in costume design and fine art, I approach each composition as though I’m staging a moment on screen: carefully lit, emotionally driven, and rich in period detail.

Influenced by storytelling traditions, from mythology and fiction to lived history, I explore how visual symbols and archetypes carry emotional weight across generations. While earlier pieces embraced the fantastical and symbolic, my recent paintings ground those ideas in tangible worlds - rendered with painterly realism in acrylic under romantic, golden light.

At the heart of it all is the desire to create a portal: a painted moment that transports the viewer, even briefly, into another time, place, or way of seeing.
