Coastal scenes - Seascapes
Looking at my seascape collection always evokes memories of growing up by the Mediterranean in southern France. The collection expresses my intimate experience and great love of this coastal region. Themes of the sea, fishing trips, wharves, and fishing boats pervade the collection.
Clowns
My palette leans consistently towards warm, saturated colours: rich yellows, oranges, reds, and the clever punctuations of blue and green create a dynamic yet cohesive atmosphere across the paintings. The use of swirling or energetic backgrounds, often with layered brushstrokes and interplay of warm hues, enhances the theatrical and vibrant quality of each piece. This lends a unifying spirit, even as the specifics of costume or pose shift from one artwork to another. In terms of technique, you strike a balance between painterly expressiveness—vivid brushwork and bold contrasts—and the cartoonish exaggeration of features, blending elements of caricature and classical portraiture
Portraits
Commissioning a painting for yourself or someone dear to you carries a lot of emotion, as later in life it takes you back in time to a special moment, a place or event, a person, or perhaps a pet… the painting visually represents something heartfelt, and each time you look at it, you remember that special time.
