I'm an abstract painter based on the English coast. My paintings explore the push and pull between calm and chaos, raw marks and quiet space. You can find my available work at jclosestudio.com. On this channel I share my practice honestly: How paintings develop, what I'm thinking about technically, and the moments where things get difficult. I also teach online courses. My flagship course, Composition for Intuitive Abstracts, gives artists a practical framework for building stronger, more intentional work. Free guides available via the links below. For brand partnership enquiries email [email protected].
