My final piece ahead of next week.
Another in the series of Langurs and Rajasthani architecture…

Two langurs on a temple ledge, watching the world below. Unbothered.

Made after my time in Rajasthan, drawn again to those pink sandstone staircases that rise through palaces and temples, worn smooth by centuries of feet.

A staircase is never just architecture ; always going somewhere, or coming from somewhere…

Here it stands alone, open to everything beyond it.

Gailior Ghat
120x160cm
I kept coming back to this one. It feels like another shift.
Whereas last year’s work leaned into the brilliance of India the colour, the intensity, everything at once. This feels more refined. I’ve been choosing… what to hold onto and what to leave. It’s less about capturing a place, and more about what stayed with me after.
In Pushkar, the first impression is vivid, almost overwhelming. But what lingers are quieter fragments; a sun-warmed wall, the well trodden of steps, a cow standing calmly within the sacred architecture.
This painting sits in that afterimage. The arches, the softened pinks hold a kind of atmospheric stillness.
This painting will be making its debut in early May at The Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead.
Get in touch if you’d like a ticket.

Lately I’ve become really fond of in peahens since seeing them (along with their male counterparts in Rajasthan.
Whilst the peacock performs, it is the peahen who chooses, drawn to the strength and symmetry of his display. Her colouring is shaped by survival, blending into dry grasses and scrub where she nests and raises her young alone.
I encountered them around Pushkar, moving through temple edges and open ground, so these works come directly from that lived moment.
Set within vintage frames, these pieces become treasures where pattern, colour, and time collide. The intricate wort ornament of each frame echoes the layered surfaces of Indian interiors, holding each work like something discovered.
I’ll by bringing these pieces to Cheltenham coming up in just a couple of weeks where I’ll be showing work with my gallery .
Alternatively you’re London based I’ll be in Hampstead early May at the Affordable Art fair and also have complementary tickets available.
Get in touch if you’d like to come along to either of these events

My first painting from this new collection since leaving the rooftop in Pushkar..
Sidhi (aka Stairway )
Stairs are never really about the destination they’re the in between. The place where you’ve left one thing and haven’t yet arrived at another.
The layers of saffron, dusky pink and terracotta, the worn lattice stencilling, the Hindi script half-absorbed into the plaster ; this painting felt alive from the first mark.
The langur monkeys arrived last, settled at the top of the climb, unhurried and completely at ease with the threshold itself.
Life’s bigger transitions have a staircase quality. India keeps reminding me there’s a particular grace in that middle place ..and sometimes, unexpectedly, it’s where the most beautiful work comes from.

My new body of work marks a shift from the saturated textiles of earlier paintings toward the more subtle, aged colours of Rajasthan ; chalky sandstone pinks and softened pastels that sit beneath the attention grabbing hues. These quieter tones hold their own strength. Time.

Alongside my love of fabric and colour, I have become increasingly attentive to architectural surfaces limewashed walls, worn edges, pigment settled into time.

Windows recur throughout this series, reflecting where I find myself ; looking inward and outward at once. The curved archway, encountered in Rajasthan at every turn, carries a beautiful familiarity.

In this latest piece ‘The Visitation’ the surface is layered slowly. Faint stencilled patterns sit beneath the paint, traces softened by time. The shadowed interior of the arch creates depth.
It houses a small bird which rests within the alcove on a brass vessel, a familiar Indian form grounding the piece in daily ritual and quiet presence.
Whilst I was creating this painting a small Indian Dove has been gently building her nest around me so I invited her into my painting.

Ten days painting undisturbed on a rooftop in Pushkar.
Hours in the dry heat, head down.
And each time I looked up I’m in awe.

Tomorrow I leave, Delhi (airport) bound, in a haze of coloured powder.
Full moon. Blood moon. The start of spring.

I had imagined this collection would be more architectural, more stripped back. But the spirit of India moves beyond structure.

Windows recur ; a quiet reflection of where I find myself: looking inward and outward at once.
Curved archways from across Rajasthan hold their familiar rhythm.

At the front, the women leading the way..
And then the monkeys…Ganesh… Temples.
And then… the pink

This took my breath away today..
Not only the colour and the backdrop of the ancient ghats but the care that is taken of the sarees by one lady whilst the rest are having their spiritual moment at the lake.
Pushkar fills me with wonder on a daily basis. ❤️💛🩷

We had our final craft workshop today; A fantastic mud resist (Dabu) Indigo block printing afternoon in rural Rajasthan.
It’s incredible to see how this family run enterprise create such awesome fabrics from such low tech equipment.
Indigo dye is a historic,natural blue colorant, traditionally extracted from plants renowned for dyeing textiles (particularly denim) for over 6,000 years.
It’s so satisfying for us beginners to get such impressive results in just a few hours.
