3D Works
By combining edge-lit etched acrylic with vibrant acrylic paintings, these works bridge surface and space. Edge lighting ignites the etched details, casting them into glowing relief above the painted imagery below. The result is a dynamic, three-dimensional encounter where light, form, and painting converge.

Sketches
Loose lines, fluid washes and touches of colour capture the character of animals in moments of stillness and movement. These sketches on paper leave room for spontaneity, finding expression in a watchful gaze, a curious tilt or a playful gesture.
