I am a Berkshire based self taught artist who works primarily with charcoal and oils, creating expressive works that explore the depths of the natural world and the human form. I work from my home based studio and refine my craft through weekly life drawing and live portraiture sessions. I am drawn to the dramatic qualities of charcoal, using it to create atmospheric and dramatic landscapes and skyscapes. My technique embodies a sculptural approach, where I carve into the paper to create depth and texture. This method allows me to build the drawing tonally, with intuitive marks guiding the overall composition. Each piece emerges organically. This method enables me to stay open to the process, avoiding the constraints of fine details in favor of a more fluid, experimental approach. The result is a sense of movement and energy within each piece. In addition to my landscapes, I have a deep passion for portraiture and to capture the essence of the sitter.

I seek to foster a connection with my viewers, offering moments of reflection, whether it's through the sweeping energy of a charcoal landscape or the quiet intensity of a portrait. 

I'm open for commissions.
