Studies

Interior Studies

An extension of the studio practice rather than a portfolio of completed projects. These studies place paintings within imagined architecture to explore perspective, scale, colour, atmosphere and the spatial relationship between a canvas and the room that holds it.

Every environment shown here is conceptual, an interior visualisation, not a built or completed residential project.
