Light, weather and stories in the street
I am drawn to cities when rain, dusk or snow changes the familiar view. Reflections stretch across the pavement, windows begin to glow and a single figure can suggest an entire story.
Working in oils allows me to layer colour and light until each city feels atmospheric rather than simply architectural. The places may be recognisable, but the mood and narrative are always personal.
