I spend my working life in vehicle engineering, where nothing ships until it has been measured, argued over and signed off. Painting is the opposite discipline. The knife goes down once. Whatever it leaves is what stays.
I work in series rather than single pieces, because a colour only tells you what it is next to the colours either side of it. A series gets named before it's finished — the name decides what the last canvases have to do.
Work is released a pair at a time, on Instagram first.
Two ways in.
Nothing is sold through this site yet. If you want first sight of a series before it goes out, join the list. If there's a piece you already want, or a wall you want something made for, write to me directly.

The collector list
New work goes to this list before it's posted anywhere. A few emails a year, nothing else.
