works on canvas

A smaller horizontally oriented oil painting in which geometric coral squares in the underpainting glow beneath layers of bright turquoise and green — the particular warmth and clarity of light on water in high summer. The work is part of an ongoing series observing the way light hits water in different locations, each piece attentive to the particular colour, pattern, and quality of a specific place. This painting is rooted in the Turkish Riviera — the heat, the vivid blues and greens of the Mediterranean, the way the light sits differently there than anywhere else.

Oil on Canvas, 80×50cm

A large horizontally oriented oil painting in which geometric oranges in the underpainting hold their warmth beneath layers of greenish grey — the cold light of a winter's day pressing down on swollen water. The work is part of an ongoing series observing the way light hits water in different locations, each piece attentive to the particular colour, pattern, and quality of a specific place. This painting is rooted in the River Windrush at Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire — the ruins, the grey sky, the river running high and heavy after rain.

Oil on Canvas, 150×200cm

A horizontally oriented oil painting in which geometric oranges in the underpainting push through layers of blue and pale yellow — the structure of light made visible beneath the surface of water. The work is part of an ongoing series observing the way light hits water in different locations, each piece attentive to the particular colour, pattern, and quality of a specific place. This painting is rooted in the lake at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire — its shifting blues, the warmth caught underneath.

Oil on Canvas, 140×100cm

A portrait-oriented oil painting in which blues of smoke meet the oranges and yellows of flame — colours that pull against each other with quiet intensity. Geometric elements and gold leaf move through the composition like something structural beneath the surface, a reminder that what is burning is not being destroyed. The work is inspired by the biblical account of the burning bush, the moment in which Moses encounters a flame that consumes without consuming, and hears, for the first time, the name of God. An abstract representation of that paradox: fire as revelation rather than ruin.

Oil and 24kt Gold Leaf on Canvas, 120×100cm

A horizontally oriented oil painting with two darker fields on either side drawing the eye toward a luminous centre, where gilded circles rise in a quiet arch. The work is inspired by biblical descriptions of the Sabbath — the ancient practice of setting aside a complete day, a whole rhythm of life, for rest. There is something both ceremonial and intimate about the gesture: light held open, a pause made visible

122×70cm

A response to Ezekiel's vision of rising waters that heal all nations — each distinct, none excluded. Colour and surface become a contemplative language for what might still hold us together.
