'My body of work primarily revolves around the representation of imagined landscapes. Painted in oil, the works vary in scale from intimate miniatures on resin and wood to larger scale works on canvas. 

Inspired by the realism of film and photography, the paintings attempt to create a dreamlike tension between reality, memory and the imagination.

Always uninhabited, shrouded in mist or captured as night draws in, the scenes pictured suggest an unspoken, unfinished narrative.’
