Gallery

A collection of works that show our approach to colour, composition and finish.

What is shown here

Every piece here tells something about the studio's method. We gather works that reveal how we think about materials, proportion and the space between things—the decisions that start before the first brush touches the canvas. These are not our grandest pieces or our fastest finishes. They are the ones that taught us what we now do best.

The studio collects work slowly. Some pieces stay for years while we decide if they belong here. Others earn their place immediately because they show a new direction we've moved into. The common thread is honesty—each one reveals something about how we work, rather than hiding it.

A piece earns a place here because it shows something we learned while making it, not because it is perfect.

What to notice

When you look at these pieces, pay attention to how light moves across the surface. Notice which parts are finished quickly and which took time. Look for the moments where we made a choice about what to leave alone rather than what to add. Every visible decision says something about the studio's thinking.

See the process

Understanding how a piece was made helps you see what you're looking at. The choices that go into preparation are not glamorous—they're just careful and necessary. Watch how surfaces are prepared, how colour is applied, how the work develops from empty space to finished piece.

A step-by-step guide showing preparation and technique—the foundation of every good finish.

How these works came to be

  1. First light study completed

    We finished the first painting in this series, using natural window light as the main subject. The room becomes as important as the objects in it. This piece changed how we think about scale and shadow in later work.

  2. Restoration project began

    Work started on bringing colour back to a weathered exterior. The challenge was preserving character while making the space new again. This taught us the value of restraint—sometimes less intervention leads to stronger results.

  3. Studio reorganization complete

    We rearranged the work space to better track how light moves through the studio at different hours. The new layout changed everything we made after. Position matters as much as technique in how work develops.
