A portfolio of contemporary watercolour paintings exploring liminal spaces, memory, place and the quiet relationships that shape human experience.

My practice begins long before a painting appears. It begins with noticing.

Noticing the moments that are easy to overlook because they rarely announce themselves. The quiet pause before departure. A reflection that briefly holds two worlds together. The hour when daylight slowly gives way to evening. The way a familiar street, harbour or historic building becomes unfamiliar simply because something within us has changed.

Over time I realised that these moments kept returning, regardless of what I painted. Architecture, rivers, railway stations, empty urban spaces and landscapes were never the destination of the work. They simply became different ways of approaching the same enquiry through contemporary watercolour painting.

I am interested in what becomes possible in the spaces between.

• Between presence and absence.
• Between memory and experience.
• Between stillness and movement.
• Between who we have been and who we are becoming.

Rather than illustrating ideas, I think of each painting as creating a space where different realities can exist together without needing to resolve into certainty. That openness is one of the reasons watercolour became the natural language of my practice.

This portfolio brings together a selection of original watercolour paintings organised as chapters rather than places. Each chapter returns to the same investigation from a different perspective, gradually building a wider conversation about transition, coexistence, presence and becoming.

Taken together, these works form not a record of places visited, but an ongoing contemporary art practice exploring how memory, place and identity continue to shape the way we experience the world when certainty quietly gives way to possibility.
