Colour fills me with joy and serves as a profound connection to both the natural world and the people within it. My work is not about representation; rather, it is more akin to sculpting with light. My paintings occupy a space between object and artwork—neither acting as windows into the world nor as arenas for self-expression, but existing as a ‘thing’ in their own right.
From Stage to Canvas: A Life in Colour
I’ve spent my life telling stories—on stage, on screen, and now, on canvas. My journey as an artist began in my 20s, painting local landscapes between acting jobs and selling them down the pub. As my career in film and TV grew, so did my love for painting. Years of life drawing and art study sharpened my eye, leading me to earn a BA (Hons) in Painting in 2024.
Since graduating, it’s been a whirlwind—selected for The Graduate Art Show, longlisted for the Beep Biennial Painting, Highly Commended for the Homiens Art Prize and one of 11 shortlisted artists for RISE BY HENLEY FESTIVAL EMERGING ARTIST PRIZE.
And yes—I’m still acting. Keep an eye out for me in Anemone, Daniel Day-Lewis’s return to film, where I have a lovely scene with Samantha Morton.
