Cream and coral blooms crowd a tall green-gold vase, with sprays of white baby's breath drifting out across a deep turquoise ground. Built up in heavy texture and drawn back in with charcoal line, so the flowers sit proud of the surface.

In the studio

The process.

Each piece moves through four slow stages — from first study to final signed surface.

01 — First marks

01 — First marks

Every piece begins with thumbnail sketches and colour notes. I work out the rhythm of the composition long before any paint touches canvas.

02 — Building texture

02 — Building texture

Layers of palette-knife paint go down first — heavy, gestural and unapologetic. The under-layers carry the whole piece.

03 — Colour conversations

03 — Colour conversations

Teal against coral. Ochre against blush. I let colours argue with each other until they settle into something honest.

04 — The final breath

04 — The final breath

Final touches are made with a loaded brush — quick, considered, alive. The piece rests for two weeks before it leaves the studio.
