Perhaps it’s the timeless elegance of the Côte d’Azur, or the soft, suffusing light that bathes Provence - its lavender fields, sun-washed villages, and rolling vineyards in golden warmth. Whatever the source, I’ve absorbed my surroundings like a sponge. They've seeped into my work, evolving it with a newfound lightness. I’ve begun stripping back materials, allowing a more gestural, painterly song to soar.

Like the countless artists drawn to this region, I’ve been wildly inspired by the landscape of my new home in the South of France, which seems to have been painted by nature itself. From the muted tones of Provençal stone houses to the silvery-green leaves of olive trees swaying in the gentle breeze, this region is a textured tapestry. And these paintings are a reminder to savour each moment.
