Introducing My New Orbital Landscapes – Painted and Fired Glass Artworks

I’m delighted to announce that three of my Orbital Landscape pieces are now available through my website shop. Each artwork is £175 and completely unique — hand-painted and kiln-fired glass, created with care, passion, and a deep love for the medium.

Drawing inspiration from the vibrant lines of Van Gogh, the ornamental beauty of Klimt, and the dreamlike worlds of David Hockney and Peter Doig, each Orbital Landscape offers its own universe of color, movement, and emotion. These are miniature worlds designed to capture the energy of nature and the imagination.

Each piece has been meticulously handmade by me, layering paint and firing the glass to create depth, luminosity, and a tactile surface that changes with the light — making them ideal for both contemporary art collectors and glass art enthusiasts.

They are now available exclusively from my online shop — once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Behind the Glass: A Live Demonstration at Cockpit Studios for London Craft Week

I’m excited to invite you to a rare, behind-the-scenes look at my process during London Craft Week 2025. On Thursday, May 15th from 3:30 to 4:00 PM, I’ll be hosting a live demonstration at Cockpit Studios, Bloomsbury, where I’ll walk through the making of my Orbital Landscapes—a series of sculptural glass paintings that merge art, light, and craft.

This is an opportunity to experience how each piece is created—from the initial painted layer through the firing process in the kiln. Each glass work is built through multiple firings, creating a sense of depth, movement, and atmosphere that draws from my background in painting and landscape abstraction.

As seen in collections and admired by design-forward spaces such as Liberty’s London, the V&A Shop, and contemporary showrooms across the UK and Europe, the Orbital Landscapes bring together fine art and craftsmanship in a way that speaks to collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

Live Demo Details:

Thursday, May 15, 2025

3:30 PM – 4:00 PM

Cockpit Studios, Bloomsbury WC1N 2NP

Stay inspired,

Wandering Vistas

Wandering Vistas is a new series of paintings that explores the emotional resonance of landscape through colour, memory, and abstraction. These works are not bound by geography—they are imagined places, shaped by light, feeling, and movement.

Working in oil on aluminum, I build layered surfaces that evoke dreamlike terrains—glowing skies, reflective waters, shifting fields. Colour is central to the work, not just as aesthetic, but as emotion. Vivid blues, warm ochres, and luminous greens reflect both the natural world and an interior one.

This series finds kinship with artists like Peter Doig, whose atmospheric scenes blur reality and reverie. It also echoes the kind of contemporary landscape painting celebrated by institutions like MoMA and artists represented by leading galleries such as David Zwirner—work that is rooted in tradition but speaks to the present moment.

Wandering Vistas invites pause, reflection, and escape. For collectors, curators, and galleries looking for bold, thoughtful painting, this series offers a fresh voice in contemporary landscape.

Birch Forest Bed: A Celebration of Natures Enchantment

Birch Forest Bed, completed in 2024, is a captivating addition to my Fantastical Landscape series. This oil on aluminum painting, measuring 100 x 100 cm, draws inspiration from the evocative works of Gustav Klimt and the poetic sensibility of Matthew Wong. The piece is a tribute to the quiet magic of a forest, where the boundaries between reality and imagination dissolve.

The composition is anchored by striking blue trees, their bases adorned with clusters of delicate blue flowers that seem to flow effortlessly across the painting. The movement within the painting is both serene and dynamic, as the eye follows these floral streams through a dreamlike terrain. Contrasting this cool palette, vibrant orange grasses emerge, creating a mesmerizing interplay of color and texture. This juxtaposition lends the work a hypnotic depth, inviting viewers to lose themselves in its otherworldly charm.

“The Large White Lake: Exclusive 2023 Oil on Aluminum Masterpiece for Art Collectors & Interior Designers

By popular request, I am pleased to share a curated list of my available artworks.

The first piece in this collection is titled

The Large White Lake

Medium: Oil on aluminum

Dimensions: 100 x 125 cm

Year: 2023

This painting draws inspiration from a dream of another artwork- a dream that reimagined the essence of waters movement and light. Influenced by the work of Matthew Wong, whose oil on linen pieces have long captivated my imagination, this work channels the vigorous rush of water rendered in lush green tones. The lake itself is depicted as a vast, almost blinding expanse of white, creating a striking interplay between luminosity and shadow. On the far bank, a small red house offers a touch of warmth and narrative, while a foreground mound of trees is rendered in a stylized manner, evoking a sense of mystery and impermanence.

Investing in Contemporary Art: Why My Work Stands Out for Collectors

Collecting contemporary art is about more than aesthetics it’s about acquiring unique, thought-provoking pieces with lasting value.

Galleries like David Zwirner, known for championing cutting-edge contemporary artists, have highlighted the growing demand for distinctive and conceptually rich art.

My oil paintings on aluminum, such as Home Reflected and Exotic Willow, offer a modern, luminous aesthetic that enhances contemporary interiors. Collectors and galleries appreciate aluminum for its durability, rich color vibrancy, and sleek finish, making it an ideal choice for high-end collections and exhibitions. Unlike canvas, aluminum resists warping and deterioration, ensuring that each investment remains pristine

Glass Sculptures: A Fusion of Art and Science

My painted and fired glass sculptures, including works like Drosophila Equilibrium, explore the intersection of art and science, inspired by electromagnetic brain imagery. These multi-layered sculptures, illuminated with LED lights, appeal to collectors seeking bold, conversation-starting pieces that bridge innovation and fine art, akin to works found in galleries such as David Zwirner and other prestigious
