About me

I am passionate about, well, most things really. The natural world is a recurring inspiration for my art. The sea most of all. During 2022-23, I took a year off from the real world and crewed on various sailboats from Norway to the Caribbean and back across the Atlantic again. It was an unforgettable, life-changing journey that has fuelled a lot of my more recent painting.

​

I paint because I love the process of painting, and often my favourite pieces are abstracts. There is something incredibly freeing about starting with chaotic emotion and trying to find balance and composition.

​

My figurative work often focuses on animals. I love trying to add texture and character to the creatures I paint, whether they be cats or whales.

​

I've recently started getting more into watercolour; teaching myself its ways and figuring out where I always used to go wrong. Not overworking and having a white paint marker close by seem to be the most useful things so far.

​

I've lived in three countries and currently study Robotics and Mechatronics at the University of Leeds. My dream is to work in exploration robotics, either in space or under the sea, possibly in marine conservation.
