As an artist, I use light and shade as my main inspirations for landscape paintings. Favouring bold, naive colours and shapes, I strive to convey feelings of fleeting magic, energy, and peace within the natural world. My work is designed to inspire us to slow down and reconnect with nature and our surroundings.
