Nocturne Paintings

'

My nocturne paintings explore the quiet intensity of evening and night - the hours when colour softens, edges dissolve and familiar places become something more inward and reflective.

I love the blue hour, when indoor lights turn on and beckon us home, our place to retreat and recharge.

These works often begin with observed and familiar landscapes or remembered places, then move toward interpretation rather than description. Influenced by Impressionism and the poetic restraint of Japanese woodblock prints, I use simplified forms and tonal harmony to suggest mood.
