These drawings were made after a trip to Naples. Looking up and through the narrow streets. Domes, arches and stacked facades become interlocking shapes.
The Aperture series explores the layered architectural histories of European cities: Roman foundations beneath baroque additions, Mediterranean light carving warm shadows into Naples yellow, dusty orange and grey.
Each drawing isolates a fragment of this world and asks you to pause inside it.

A small chapel's bell-gable and the long, thin vertical niche below it.

Earthy tones of Naples yellow, dusty orange and warm grey hold the composition in a quiet, meditative glow.
Drawn in Polychromos pencil on 300gsm Bockingford Hot Press paper, the work has a fine, considered precision. The mark-making is patient; the result is a drawing that rewards close attention.

Saunter Series
Born from walking, through the low-rise civic and commercial streets of a contemporary capital city, noticing the geometry within the ordinary.
The Saunter series transforms the unremarked backdrop of daily life into compositions that are harmonious, structured and unexpectedly warm.
Available as pencil drawings on natural-coloured Papel Caballo paper and as small acrylic paintings on cradled wooden board, ready to hang.
Each piece is a transient moment, caught and made permanent.
A restricted palette of blue and grey draws the eye through doorways, along fragments of buildings, through voids that open onto other voids. In Saunter #1, silhouettes and angular structures are rotated, cropped and rejoined, not to disorient, but to invite. To suggest that the unexpected can be a kind of home.
Drawn in Polychromos pencil on natural-coloured 250gsm Papel Caballo, the warm tint of the paper becomes part of the composition itself, a ground that breathes through the marks and anchors the cool palette with something earthy and alive.

A sunrise palette of pink, blue and yellow organises itself into doorways, building silhouettes and angular fragments, each edge clean, each void considered. Saunter #10 is a small painting with a large compositional confidence: the kind of work that holds a wall on its own or anchors a group.

Steadfast Series
Walking to the studio, through a neighbourhood in the middle of intense urban transformation, this building stuck out. Its external walls covered in tiles, the kind usually kept for interiors, applied outside with what seemed like playful defiance.
The Steadfast series draws from that single encounter: graphic blocks of high-contrast colour composed on handmade cotton and linen paper with deckled edges.
Bold, considered, and entirely hand-drawn. Each piece is a different composition from the same source, repetition as a way of looking more deeply.
Each piece is bold and considered. Different compositions from the same source, exploring repetition as a way of looking more deeply.
Walking to the studio, through a neighbourhood in the middle of intense urban transformation, this building stuck out. Its external walls covered in tiles, the kind usually kept for interiors, applied outside with what seemed like playful defiance.
Steadfast #1 is drawn from that moment.
Graphic blocks of high-contrast colour compose a bold, striking composition on handmade cotton and linen paper. Where the paper remains unworked, it becomes part of the image, a texture and a considered absence. The deckled edges of the paper frame the work with a natural irregularity that complements the geometric precision of the drawing itself.
Drawn in Polychromos pencil, the piece has a surface quality that is both precise and warm, the cotton and linen fibres of the handmade paper giving the marks a softness that fine art paper alone cannot achieve.
Steadfast #1 brings bold colour and sophisticated calm to a space. The composition is confident without being loud; the palette striking without being difficult. It suits a minimal interior where one work can carry the room, a white wall, a neutral space, a room that knows when to let the art speak.

A second drawing from the same source, the tiled facade of a building encountered on the daily walk to the studio, its interior wall tiles turned outward as a bold, decorative gesture.
Steadfast #2 returns to that moment with a different composition: the same high-contrast colour blocks, the same dynamic balance, a different arrangement of weight and space.
Drawn in Polychromos pencil on handmade cotton and linen paper, the work has a tactile richness that comes from the paper itself, its deckled edges with its irregular texture, the way it holds and softens the mark. Where the paper is left bare, it is not empty: it is an intentional part of the composition.
The Steadfast series explores the boundary between decorative and fine art, between the everyday material of a neighbourhood in flux and the considered language of drawing. Each piece in the series is a response to the same facade, seen differently.
Steadfast #2 works as a companion to Steadfast #1 or as a standalone work. Together they create a dialogue; apart, each holds its own. Either way, this is a drawing for those who appreciate colour used with conviction and paper as a material in its own right.

The fourth and final drawing in the Steadfast series available here, another composition drawn from the same tiled facade and the same insistent moment.
Steadfast #4 takes a different approach to the colour blocks: a new balance, a different distribution of weight, a fresh way of letting the colour and the handmade paper speak.
Drawn in Polychromos pencil on cotton and linen paper, the work rewards close attention. The texture of the paper shifts under the pencil marks; the deckled edges give the piece a natural border that no frame can quite replicate. The bare paper is not absence, it is space, creating an intentional calmness.
The Steadfast series asks what it means to draw from the same source multiple times: whether repetition deepens or diminishes, whether each new drawing reveals something the previous one could not reach. These four pieces suggest that it deepens.
Steadfast #4 can be collected alongside the other pieces in the series or lived with on its own. Either way, it brings bold colour, refined composition and the particular warmth of work made entirely by hand. For those who believe that drawing, at its best, is thinking made visible.

The same tiled facade, the same daily walk, the same moment of recognition, but each drawing in the Steadfast series finds its own balance within that shared starting point.
In Steadfast #3, graphic colour blocks compose themselves into a composition that feels dynamic and settled at once: the unequal elements in equilibrium, the bare paper breathing between the marks.
Drawn in Polychromos pencil on handmade cotton and linen paper, the work has a physical presence unusual for a work on paper. The deckled edges are not an affectation but a material fact, this paper was made by hand, and the drawing honours that by letting the edges remain.
The Steadfast series is an exploration of a specific encounter: a building in a neighbourhood undergoing transformation, its interior tiles applied to the outside as a decorative and perhaps provocative act. These drawings take that act seriously, finding in it the raw material for something sustained and refined.
Steadfast #3 brings bold graphic energy to any space while maintaining the quiet authority of a work made by hand. It suits a contemporary interior, a design-conscious home, a space that values the considered and the handmade equally.

Shadows Series
The Shadows series grew from a deliberate act of recording the light in my home throughout the day over an entire summer.
Drawing from photographs this series is a diary, an investigation and a celebration of the beauty that exists in the spaces we live in but rarely examine.
Worked in Polychromos pencil on fine art paper, the drawings are square and monochrome. They are a record of time passing. A reason to notice the light in your own room.
A room in summer light. A shadow falling across a familiar surface in a way that makes it suddenly, briefly strange.
Shadows #2 is drawn from a series of photographs made throughout a single summer day, tracking how the light in a home moves and what it does to the spaces we think we know.
The composition is minimalist and monochrome, deep shadows carving interior space into geometric form, the pencil working in fine, patient layers to build a tonal range that moves from near-black to near-white. In a square format, the image has a concentrated, meditative quality: nothing extraneous, nothing explained.
Drawn in Polychromos pencil on fine art paper, the piece has the subtle luxury of a work made with exceptional materials used with exceptional care. The monochrome palette is not a limitation but a discipline, an insistence on looking more carefully at what is there.
Shadows #2 creates a refined, intentional space wherever it hangs. It suits those who live with awareness of their own surroundings, who notice how the light in a room shifts throughout the day, and find something beautiful in that shift. A drawing for those who are drawn to the quiet drama of natural light.

Later in the day, a different angle, a deeper shadow.
Shadows #3 documents another moment from the summer of 2024, the shifting light moving through familiar rooms, transforming the architecture of everyday domestic space into something fleeting and quietly extraordinary.
The composition is square and monochrome: deep pencil shadows carving the interior space with precision, the tonal transitions built through patient, mark-making in Polychromos pencil on fine art paper. The result is a drawing with a meditative stillness that rewards attention.

Together the series creates a document of time passing; separately, each drawing holds its own moment complete.
Shadows #3 brings a sense of refined calm to any interior. Its monochrome palette is quietly strong, not stark, but considered. It suits a bedroom, a study, a hallway: any space where a moment of stillness is welcome. A drawing for those who pay attention to the light in their own rooms.

The last drawing from the Shadows series available here, another moment from that summer, another configuration of light and dark in the familiar rooms of one home. Shadows #6 completes the sequence with the same minimalist monochrome language, the same patient pencil work, the same insistence on looking at what is actually there.
Drawn in Polychromos pencil on fine art paper, the composition is square and still. This piece relies on stark tonal extremes, utilizing only black and a warm grey against the paper’s natural value. The bare paper is light; the worked areas are dark, it’s the transition between them that is everything.
The Shadows Series is a visual diary of a single summer, a document of time, light and the quiet transformations that occur within a single day in a single place. Collected together, the drawings form a meditation on domesticity and perception. Separately, each holds its own complete moment.
Shadows #6 suits any interior where quiet precision is valued. It pairs naturally with the other works in the series; it also stands alone with complete authority. For those who believe that the most ordinary moments, looked at carefully enough, become extraordinary. A drawing for those who notice.

The light has shifted again. Shadows #5 catches another moment from the long summer project, the same rooms and walls, but the shadow now at a different angle, the interior space recomposed by the movement of the sun. A fleeting moment, which has been caught and held.
The composition is square, monochrome and quietly powerful. Polychromos pencil on fine art paper, worked in careful layers to build the deep, velvety texture that gives the Shadows series its characteristic meditative quality. The line between discipline and restraint is held throughout.
The Shadows series grew from a deliberate act: photographing the light in one home throughout the day over an entire summer, then drawing from those photographs. The series is a diary, an investigation and a celebration of the beauty that exists in the spaces we live in but rarely examine.
Shadows #5 brings the kind of stillness to a room that can only come from work made with genuine attention. It is a drawing for those who appreciate the slow, the careful and the considered, and who have learned to notice the light in their own home. A piece that asks you to look at the familiar differently.

Mid-afternoon, the shadow at its sharpest, the interior space most clearly divided into light and dark.
Shadows #4 captures this moment with the precision of a drawing made from close photographic observation: the geometry of domestic architecture revealed by the angle and intensity of summer sunlight.
Worked in Polychromos pencil on fine art paper, the composition is square, still and entirely monochrome. The mark-making is slow the image is built entirely through negative space, where the paper itself serves as the palest light. The result feels less like a room than like the idea of a room, reduced and clarified.
Part of the Shadows series, a summer-long visual diary of the shifting light in one home, Shadows #4 belongs to a body of work that finds the extraordinary in the overlooked rhythms of daily life. Each drawing in the series is a record and a meditation.
Shadows #4 suits those who appreciate monochrome not as an absence of colour but as its own complete language. It works in any interior that values precision and calm, a white room, a pared-back space, a home that has learned to say enough. A drawing for those who find the domestic world endlessly interesting.
