Mixed media art celebrating beautiful reclaimed wood, sustainable, distinguished and with a story of its own.
Every painting has a story...
…and it all begins with the background
Salvage, vintage, well-loved, pre-loved, abandoned, all my substrates, the back grounds I work on, are reclaimed wood.
Wood fascinates me in all its. forms. I deeply respect this living thing, the vital role it holds in our eco-system and in human history.
The natural beauty of wood and the age-old human marks on each piece have their story to tell. Worn, weathered, patterned and textured these captivate me, firing my imagination and an irresistible urge to create.
Art changes how we see our world, so let's start with sustainability.
