The September series, unfinished
Six canvases, one problem with white, and why I left them alone for a month.

About
I spent ten years as a marine biologist before I picked up a brush.
The work is still about the sea: currents, foam, the colour of deep water seen from a boat. I pour each canvas on the studio floor in one go, then spend weeks deciding what to leave alone.
Kind words
“It changes with the light all day. I didn’t expect a painting to feel alive.”
MartaLisbon · collector
“The commission was calm and clear, and the painting is better than the room.”
