The outside world is not an inherently peaceful land.
There is little place for sincere contemplation, consideration of divergent ideas and perspectives, or an appreciation of a beauty that exists far beyond what the external mind can perceive and comprehend.
It is stillness and solitude — where the graceful flight of birds brings freedom and peace, where the song of the wind weaving its way through wild grasses in the soft glow of the late-afternoon sunlight brings a steady warmth and comfort, where poppies dance with a delicacy that brings delight and wonder, and dappling light, shimmering through stately trees, brings an elegant mystery to life — that provide a time and space to gather beautiful things to consider distinctive ideas, to recognise and appreciate their intrinsic value, and realise their attributes in the form of paintings, writing and music composition.
This is my work.

Materials & Technical information
Paintings: I work with oil paints on linen, cotton, paper and wood/MDF panel substrates.
Drawings: I work with graphite and charcoal on paper.
Music: I write the scores for my music compositions (including drum notation and lyrics) and create the sheet music using music notation software. I use music production software to make recordings of the sheet music.
Video: I film and edit all my videos.
I do not use AI in the creation of my work.
