MY PRACTICE IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN MY PASSION FOR PAINTING, DESIGN, AND THE OUTDOORS WHICH SERVE AS MY PRIMARY SOURCES OF INSPIRATION.
IGNITE YOUR PASSION THROUGH TEXTURES AND COLOUR
WELCOME, I’M ALLY AND AN ARTIST AND OCEAN LOVER!
MY WORK IS ABOUT CONNECTIONS AND EVOKING EMOTIONAL RESPONSES AS MUCH AS CAPTURING A SENSE OF PLACE
A beautiful piece of art can bring energy and personality, welcoming you into your home or office with calm, strong, and engaging paintings.
Let me help you choose the right piece of work from my collection or I can create a bespoke artwork that will be unique to you!
Contours of the Coast
For those who visited my recent exhibition, you might have noticed my passion for mixed media. There’s something captivating about exploring the interplay of different pigments and textures to create multi-layered, richly textured works. Before starting a new piece, I carefully choose my materials and consider where the artwork might be displayed, thinking about how it will enhance its surroundings. My aim is always to capture a specific moment or place in time. It's fascinating to see how each piece transforms with changing light, revealing hidden details. It’s a delight when collectors tell me how they’re drawn to the ever-evolving nature of my work, discovering something new every time they see it.
Keep watching to see how this series evolves.
If you are interested in seeing a particular part of the coast explored in this style drop me an email and let’s discuss!
TEXTURAL LANDSCAPES
Experience "Textural Landscapes," an exhibition of multi-layered artworks inspired by nature's light and movement. Each piece transforms with the light, evoking specific times and places often igniting memories. These paintings can stand alone or unite as a group, offering a unique opportunity to bring the magic of the outdoors inside.
Feel free to reach out if you would like to explore a specific theme or need more options!
