I paint trees because they feel like companions rather than subjects. When I’m working, I’m not trying to describe what a tree looks like, I’m responding to how it feels to stand near one, to notice its quiet persistence, its generosity with shade, colour, and time.Colour leads the way for me. I let it carry mood, memory, and movement, allowing each tree to emerge slowly, intuitively. Some feel playful, others grounded or contemplative. None are fixed.
