Traditional Paintings
I am very interested in local sights and mundanity and think that beauty can easily be found, even in the ugly. I am especially interested in council housing, quiet overlooked streets, and lights. Most of the above are scenes from my hometown of Leicester.
My painting of the sadly now demolished Regent Wing of Kingston Hospital won Kingston Museum's Brill Award in 2023 because I captured the dark history of the building as a Victorian workhouse. I am happy I was able to honour and capture the building through art before it was torn down.
I was recently also chosen to participate in Kingston Museum's exhibition 'San Francisco in Kingston' which looked at Kingston-born Eadweard Muybridge's interesting career. My paintings are inspired by Muybridge's famous San Francisco Panorama. I researched both the historic Kingston Market place and its importance to the area, as well as the panorama and how Muybridge captured the San Francisco landscape in 1878.
