Interior Worlds

This collection engages with the intimate and layered interiors where artists live, work, and reveal their inner worlds. It interrogates the dual realms of private sanctuary and public art space—the home as comfort and context, the studio as subject and space.

In one painting, I revisit the time-honored subject of the model in the studio, echoing lineage from Laura Knight’s Self Portrait with Nude to Manet’s Olympia. Here, Francesca, having stepped down from the podium and holding her wrap, pauses in quiet reflection before the canvas that captures her. This moment between posing and painting—introspective, private, yet situated within the exposed realm of creation—explores how self-awareness, the gaze, and the act of representation converge.

Other paintings show the emotional architecture of familiar places. Since shifting more of my practice into my living space, I’ve observed the small routines: a morning sunspot by the window, individual stories taking place on the balconies stacked upon one another in the building opposite,  These paintings are glimpses into those domestic dramas—pausing daily rituals, the interplay of light and habit, the private life observed from afar.

From private domestic corners to private performance in the studio, the works investigate how places shape identity, the home and the  studio become mirrors of our interior worlds —spaces inhabited and inhabited by art—a spectrum that spans solitude and exposure, inner life and shared presence.

I invite you to step into these interior spaces—to feel the hush of the studio, the quiet rhythm of home, and the charged threshold where subject becomes canvas, and private becomes visible.
