I am primarily a watercolourist but also work in other media. My inspiration is nature — often imagined. I aim to convey the feeling of a bird as it sits in my hand, the fur of a cheetah that I once petted through a wire fence, the coarse texture of an elephant's trunk.
My work is repetitive. I paint the same or similar images again and again. I seldom strive for perfection or accuracy, but try to capture a feeling, a light or an atmosphere — testing colours and textures to see how far and in which directions I can push the mood of a painting.
I grew up in the United Kingdom with Norwegian and Indian parents, moved to Sweden in the 1980s, and have painted in Asia, Europe and Central America. I spend much of the year in Umbria, Italy, painting in solitude near Monte Santa Maria Tiberina.
All paintings shown are originals available to purchase. Payment by SumUp (secure card) or Swish. I also take commissions — get in touch and we'll talk through what's possible.
