I came to painting late, having studied editorial and fine art photography at University for the Creative Arts. I've always drawn and started painting intensively during the pandemic. This period of often (very) early morning walks through empty streets helped me stay connected to my environment and caused me to look at the mundane features of the city in a very different way.
I've continued my practice as the streets have repopulated, and while my paintings now occasionally include ghostly figures, I'm still interested in how the streets appear when absent of people. Working around the population has encouraged a faster approach to capturing images and painting, which can be seen in looser brush strokes and gestures over my more precise early work.
