The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, better known as Sacré-Cœur. Ever since I first visited the city I have been fascinated with the beautiful shape and exquisite details of the church.

And the vivid blue sky highlights the shape of the landmark perfectly, perched majestically at top of the highest point in the city. The image is floated in a hand-painted wood frame.

‘Our Lady of Paris’ - one of the most iconic symbols of Paris and the French nation. The cathedral's construction began as far back as 1160! Napoleon was coronated here, it was immortalised in Victor Hugo’s famous novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and sadly suffered series damage in the fire in 2019.
I’ve always loved the cathedral. It’s dramatic design and incredible location perched on the an island on the river make it the perfect muse for me. And, as you can see bottom right, it is often the scene of wedding photographs.
This piece is created from an original photograph, digitally coloured, and printed on a small sheet of brushed aluminium. This picks out the cathedral’s intricate detail and gives the piece an etched appearance. The image is floated in a hand-painted wood frame.

The Pompidou Centre has always been one of my favourite buildings in the world. I find the Rogers and Piano design fascinating. It was the first major example of an 'inside-out' building in architectural history, with its structural and mechanical systems exposed on the outside of the building. Initially all the functional elements were colour-coded: green pipes for plumbing, blue ducts are for climate control, electrical wires in yellow, and safety components in red. A functional work of art. Genius.
This piece is made from an original photograph taken from Monmatre, the highest point in Paris. The image is digitally manipulated to trace the outlines of the Paris rooftop, whilst leaving the picture of the building untouched. It is printed on a small sheet of brushed aluminium, which gives the piece an etched appearance, and floated in a hand-painted wood frame.

This piece is created from a photograph of the Champs Elysees taken from from the top of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. I wanted to show the contrast between the never-ending tree-lined avenue and the historic buildings it carves through. The Champs Elysees itself has been left untouched from the original photograph while it’s surroundings have been digitally altered to highlight the patterns of the streets. Printing the image on a small sheet of brushed aluminium picks out the landscape’s details and contrasts it perfectly with the tree-lined avenue. The image is floated in a hand-painted white wood frame.
