About

I spent ten years as a marine biologist before I picked up a brush.

The work is still about the sea: currents, foam, the colour of deep water seen from a boat. I pour each canvas on the studio floor in one go, then spend weeks deciding what to leave alone.

Kind words

“It changes with the light all day. I didn’t expect a painting to feel alive.”

MartaLisbon · collector

“The commission was calm and clear, and the painting is better than the room.”
