My work is rooted in the quiet, tactile intimacy of domestic life. I paint familiar objects—lobsters on floral china, croissants on a breakfast table, fresh fish on patterned linens—not as passive still lifes, but as portals into memory, ritual, and care. These scenes speak to the private theatre of the everyday: the quiet moments that repeat, shift, and accumulate significance over time.

​

I work instinctively and boldly with colour and texture, building each image with expressive brushwork and careful observation. The tables I paint are often messy, layered, and lived-in, echoing the emotional richness of shared meals and solitary mornings. I’m drawn to how beauty resides in these small rituals—in the cup of tea, the meal preparation, the arrangement of flowers.

Though the compositions are carefully constructed, they resist idealization. There’s a kind of tension in these paintings: between indulgence and absence, tradition and spontaneity, the decorative and the raw. In capturing the fleeting, I hope to make it linger and elevate its importance.
