In a tranquil room, a drawing of an antique armchair overflowing with delicate flowers symbolizes peace, love, and romantic silence. The aged upholstery and carved wooden frame exude timeless elegance, while roses, lilies, and lavender create a fragrant sanctuary.This enchanting armchair is a retreat from everyday life, perfect for meditation, enjoying a cup of tea, or losing oneself in a favorite book. It’s a reminder of the special place within and outside ourselves, where peace and creativity thrive."Petals and Velvet" speaks to the heart, reminding us of the importance of carving out these moments of quietude and reflection, both inside our homes and within ourselves. It’s a call to embrace the beauty of solitude and to cherish the simple, yet profound, joys of life. Through this captivating drawing, we are encouraged to find our own serene corners, where peace, love, and romantic silence reign supreme.
 
Each painting that I create is a unique dance with a variety of materials, unique to each work. I often refer back to traditional painting methods when priming the surface and preparing the paints. One of my preferred mediums is egg tempera, which i prepare myself from scratch in the same way that the renaissance masters would have done. I always use oils and inks in my work. The quality of these mediums enables me to build up subtle and rich layers, from which my poetic images appear. Each work is always a battle between exposing and suppressing different areas until the perfect balance of colour and form is achieved.
