Landscapes are continually in the process of becoming, shaped by natural forces, cultural memory and the ways in which they are perceived.

My practice approaches landscape not as a fixed representation of place, but as a shifting encounter between observation, memory and imagination.

Working primarily with oil paint and marble dust on canvas, I explore the relationships between architectural structures, natural forms and atmospheric conditions. Through the layering of colour, light and material, spaces emerge, dissolve and reconfigure, moving between abstraction and representation. Recognisable elements remain suspended between clarity and ambiguity, where distinctions between interior and exterior, structure and atmosphere become increasingly uncertain.

Drawing upon direct observation, photography and mediated imagery, I investigate how our experience of landscape is shaped by both physical presence and visual representation. Each painting proposes a spatial experience rather than the depiction of a particular place, inviting the viewer to navigate the shifting relationships between what is seen, remembered and imagined.
