I am a Black, queer, neurodivergent painter with architectural training, diagnosed with ADHD, working at the intersection of portraiture, spatial awareness, and emotional atmosphere. Painting is the core of my practice and my primary way of thinking, processing, and understanding internal states. My work is shaped by intuitive rhythms of attention, sensory sensitivity, and periods of deep focus.

My painting practice centres on contemporary figurative portraiture, not as likeness but as an exploration of presence, mood, and psychological experience. Through colour, boldness, restraint, and subtle shifts in tone, I explore vulnerability, stillness, and the emotional registers that exist beneath language. I work slowly and intuitively, allowing images to emerge rather than forcing resolution.

My architectural training informs my sensitivity to composition, proportion, spatial composition, and the history and cultural use of colour, shaping both the way I build an image on the canvas and the psychological impact of my work. I am particularly interested in how colour, atmosphere, and painterly approach can evocatively narrate the emotional presence of my figures.

Across my practice, I prioritise painting and figurative work, foregrounding emotional truth, sensitivity, and the nuanced expression of the human form, allowing each piece to unfold intuitively rather than through performance or productivity-driven expectation.
