A whimsical ongoing series of paintings celebrating the quiet presence of everyday fruit and vegetables. These small works explore colour, form, and character through close observation of familiar kitchen subjects.

Hyde Park is a series of paintings developed over more than a year of weekly visits to paint and draw en plein air, observing the park’s seasonal changes and the effects of the polyphagous shot-hole borer on its landscape. The works honour Hyde Park’s beauty, history and role as an urban wildlife sanctuary, while acknowledging its ecological vulnerability and importance to the local community.
