About

A pastel artist drawn to the immediacy and vitality of portraiture. My work explores the energy and emotion captured in the human face, using bold, direct strokes and a vivid, dynamic colour palette. Each piece aims to convey movement and inner life—often through layers of gestural marks that blend realism with abstraction.

Inspired by the texture and intensity of soft pastels, I build portraits that are as much about feeling as form. The result is artwork that feels alive, expressive, and in motion—where the sitter’s presence and personality emerge through the rhythm of mark-making and colour contrasts.

My recent work, titled Threads of Becoming, is a series of pastel portraits that explore aging — not as decline, but as a gathering of life’s textures: the quiet beauty of time etched into skin and memory woven through colour. Each work is a tapestry of what we have endured, loved, and carried forward, rendered in bold, energetic marks that hold both movement and stillness.
