I’m a British artist from London, currently living and working in Kyoto after graduating from Kyoto University of the Arts.

My interests are primarily in nocturnal atmospheres and liquid painting. Night atmospheres lean into abstraction and encourage introspection, providing a respite from our daily lives. I aim to create the same atmospheres within my paintings.

Most of my work involves a relationship with the disposition of liquid paint, and a cycle of seizing and relinquishing control within painting.

I am also interested in drawings that have no apparent form, but onto which the viewer can project a meaning, much in the same way as cloudwatching.
