with paint on my hands and my nose in a book, I paint the worlds that words ignite. Capturing stars and skies of Black Grey and White.

“The Violent Drop”

This piece is the second completed original in this gallery. Inspired by the daunting last few chapters of one of my favourite series. Painted in only black and white, this piece has been in the works for almost a year while trying to portray the intensity of this particular scene.

Welcome to my world of monochrome magic, where my love for the written word meets the brush. As a shy soul, mid-twenties artist, painting has become my voice, allowing me to share the vivid worlds I escape to in the pages of my favourite books. Each painting is a story come to life and a piece of my heart. I have to thank the incredible support I’ve received and the community that this journey has brought. I invite you to step into this world with me and experience the magic of art and stories combined.
