ABOUT
I am a British watercolour artist based in London whose practice explores the relationship between landscape, memory and a desire to return to places that calm my nervous system. Inspired by the way I experience natural environments, I am drawn to places where I can escape and feel most at peace, places that leave a lasting emotional impression.
I studied Fine Art & History of Art, graduating in 2019. Alongside creating original collections, I paint bespoke landscape commissions for private clients, transforming meaningful places into personal watercolour paintings that celebrate memory, connection and a sense of place.
Practice
Working in layered watercolour, I reconstruct each composition through multiple individual colours and mark-making. Viewed closely, these fragments reveal their own rhythm and texture, yet from a distance they resolve into immersive landscapes that spark joy and a sense of calm. This approach reflects the way my memories of the natural world are formed, built from countless small details that collectively shape an experience of place.
Building a painting from many small moments allows me to immerse myself back into memories of a place. The process is soothing; as I paint, I rebuild old memories while creating new ones. Rather than documenting a landscape exactly as it appears, I hope my paintings invite viewers to slow down, reconnect with the smaller details the natural world offers, and rediscover the quiet significance of place.
FAQ'S AND INFO
What is a giclée print?
A giclée print is a high-quality fine art reproduction of an original artwork. The term comes from the French word meaning “to spray,” referring to the way specialised printers apply microscopic droplets of ink to create extremely detailed images. Giclée prints are produced using archival pigment inks and high-quality paper, allowing the colours, textures, and subtle details of the original watercolour to be reproduced as faithfully as possible. This process results in an extremely high-quality print with exceptional colour depth and longevity.
