This character was developed as a personal project and now appears as a small ambassador for my work. Painted in gouache, the tiger allowed me to explore the colours, patterns, and layered mark-making that often appear in my paintings.
Creating this character was a way to distill my visual language into a single figure - playful, curious, and surrounded by the work and natural motifs that inspire much of my work.
It offers a first glimpse into the world of colour, texture, and imaginative narrative that runs throughout my practice.

Do you think I could have tea with you?”
