Studio Hayes / The practice
About the practice.
A practice built on observation, material and the possibilities of color.
Independent art & observation
Observation before expression
Looking closely.
Working with intention.
I’m Mitchell, an independent artist exploring the relationship between color, material and the natural world.
A reflection, a weathered surface, a shift in the light. My work begins with these observations and develops through drawing, painting and experiments in digital motion.
Each study asks what happens when something familiar is given time and attention. The process is deliberate; the outcome leaves room for discovery.
