This exhibition marks fifteen years of Red Art Gallery; and fifteen years of watching how art lives beyond the studio. The fifteen works in this collection are united not by style or palette alone, but by an ongoing exploration of connection in its many forms.

Still life and domestic scenes as emotional memory-scapes

These works live in the quiet.

They’re not just about objects—they’re about presence. The rituals that hold us. The corners of our lives where memory lives in colour, shape, and light. I’m drawn to the emotional weight of the mundane: three of life's greatest pleasures, dogs, food and flowers.  These three subjects really just give me the opportunity to paint "still life" style. 

—they’re records of feeling. Still, but never static.

I like to approach each setting with emotion and strength, bringing a distinct personality to every painting. Whether it’s bold and textured, or soft and muted - each comes alive in a different way!

Geometric animals and shape-based creatures with symbolic presence

These beings are part wild, part sacred.

I see them as emotional symbols—representations of instinct, gentleness, and power all at once. Their forms are structured, geometric, sometimes architectural. But inside that structure, there’s life. Movement. Emotion.

These works ask: What does it mean to hold something wild, without taming it? What part of ourselves are we learning to love in its original form?

Abstract work exploring the emotional terrain of intimacy, time and presence.

These pieces aren’t necessarily about figures, but they are deeply human.

I’m painting the feeling of being known—the soft, enduring kind that builds over years. Each layer, each form, holds memory. These works are maps of connection: how we hold space for each other, how we change in rhythm with someone else, how emotional texture lingers even after words fall away.

This is the space between two people. Tender. Shifting. True.

It’s the language of love, longing, presence, and time… without words.
Themes: intimacy, memory, rhythm, emotional architecture.

These pieces are about what connection feels like—before it’s named. I’m mapping emotional territory here: how love evolves, how we know each other deeply, quietly.

Quirky characters and surreal figures revealing emotional truth through play

These are the dreamers. The misfits. The parts of ourselves we often hide.

This work lets me lean into surrealism, humor, and quiet absurdity. Every character is a little off-kilter—delightfully so. They carry emotion in exaggeration. They feel like emotional portraits of people I’ve never met, but somehow know.

It’s truth in disguise. Honesty wrapped in weirdness. These are the parts of us that laugh, ache, wander and wonder.

My figures are either quirky and fun, or mysterious and intriguing. They are all created from my imagination, and are compilations of people I have seen in real life or in my creative dream world. They may be men in uniform, surfers or dancers. Poseurs and cowboys, naked or in full regalia!  They have small heads and big hands and feet.  I've been painting these imaginary souls this way since the year 2000 - was it something about the millenium? People watching is the most interesting sport there is!
