About my Practice

After many years away from painting, in early 2026 I committed to building my practice from scratch.

I'm a London based abstract artist, and am driven by my insatiable curiosity of life and human behaviour. I like to think that my paintings invite people to think.

I create through what I call my Fierce Painting process. My paintings begin instinctively. I don't plan compositions in advance, I start with colour, and allow the direction of the painting to emerge.

My work draws on themes of what it means to be human — how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

I write about my return to painting, the story behind my work, my creative process, life reflections, and evolving ideas in my online journal elise studio: laid bare

The painting in the portrait photo is Dark Mirror, part of the unsettled self series documented in my journal.
