Contemporary Painting in Wales
Exploring the boundaries between the figurative and abstraction

I’m a Wales-based artist working across contemporary painting, creative facilitation, and reflective writing. This is a space shaped by studio practice, lived experience, and a belief in creativity as a meaningful way of engaging with the world.

If you’ve found your way here, you may already sense that creativity is a way of paying attention and staying connected.

Art practice, creativity, and change

My art practice runs alongside my work teaching and facilitating creativity; one cannot exist without the other.
I paint, teach, and write from direct experience, and what I share with others grows out of my own studio practice.

I’m particularly interested in working with people who carry a quiet belief that they are “not creative”, and in creating spaces where old habits can be questioned and softened.

Creating art is life-changing - not because it fixes everything, but because it helps us slow down, listen more carefully, and reconnect with ourselves. 
Working creatively in community, really matters to me, which is why I also collaborate as part of the artist collective, Das Clarks.

Paintings, courses, and mentoring
This website brings together my contemporary paintings, creative courses, and mentoring.

All of this work is rooted in the belief that creativity is both a skill and a practice - one that can support personal growth, wellbeing, and change. 
Whilst my painting process is intuitive, it is rooted in drawing skills and a clear framework.

You’re invited to explore the paintings, learn about my Arts in Health mentoring and workshops, or engage with the writing on Substack - beginning wherever feels most alive to you.
