It’s that feeling of being someone’s safe place — and having someone who is yours.

There’s something instantly familiar about this kind of closeness. Being wrapped up in someone’s arms, feeling protected, loved and like you belong right there.

There’s something instantly familiar about this kind of closeness. Being wrapped up in someone’s arms, feeling protected, loved and like you belong right there.

If you love abstract realism portraits, bold colour, and raw, living emotion in art, you’re in the right place.

A little behind the scenes of this one coming together.

I love seeing how much a portrait changes from those first rough layers to the finished piece.

It’s always the expression that gets me first.

Something in her look made me want to paint her — then came the colour, the layers and all those loose little marks I love.

I love watching a portrait slowly come together.

It starts pretty rough, then somewhere along the way the face starts looking back at me. That’s always my favourite part.

Here’s this one from the first sketch to finished painting.

I am an Abstract Realism artist known for my bold use of vivid colour and expressive mark-making. My work spans human, wildlife, and pet portraiture, with each piece crafted to celebrate the individuality and spirit of every subject. I strive to merge emotional depth with visual vibrancy, offering a distinctive artistic voice across diverse forms of portraiture.

Through my art, I aim to evoke emotion, spark joy, and invite you to see beyond the surface, connecting with the soul and energy of each subject.
