Biography
I am of Anglo/Thai heritage. After school in London I moved to France and went to the École des Beaux Arts in Aix-en-Provence, France to study architectural draughtsmanship. However, the life drawing classes held far more appeal than technical drawing and during the time spent in this sun-drenched land of Cézanne, I gradually turned towards fine art.
The work on this site is now focussed on watercolours, many based on subjects close to home such as the environment of my garden, the woods near where I live and the landscapes from travels mostly within England and France.
The images are fairly representational but sometimes paired down to near abstraction. They seek to convey clarity and lightness. The white of the paper in the watercolours are just as important as the painted elements. The more complicated the world becomes, the more I seek a language of calm and simplicity in my work.
