New Flower Watercolours in London During Frieze Week

As London prepares for Frieze London 2026, I am developing a new series of flower watercolours at my studio at Cockpit Bloomsbury.

The paintings explore rhythm, repetition and movement. Individual flowers return across the paper like notes within a musical composition, influenced by the structures found in the music of Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass. Forms repeat, but each return brings a shift in colour, weight or pace.

I have also been thinking about the warp and weft of textiles. The backgrounds move in one direction while the flowers travel across them in another. These opposing movements create a balance between structure and freedom.

Watercolour allows the images to remain immediate. Transparent washes meet denser passages of colour, while areas of untouched paper give the compositions space to breathe. The flowers remain recognisable, but they also become part of a larger abstract pattern.

These works on paper are the beginning of a new body of contemporary flower paintings. Selected studies will be developed into larger oil paintings on aluminium, where their delicate marks and repeated forms can take on a different physical presence.

My wider practice includes reverse glass painting with gold leaf, painted and fired glass light sculptures, and oil paintings on aluminium. Works are held in private, corporate and museum collections, including the Cantor Fitzgerald Collection, the William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation and the Joslyn Art Museum.

The new watercolours and paintings will be available to collectors, interior designers and those interested in commissioning an original work. Studio visits at Cockpit Bloomsbury can be arranged by appointment during Frieze week and throughout the year.
