“Inspired by the ability to describe and communicate experiences through paint, my work connects to a feeling of belonging, both for myself and for the viewer. The painting style and subject matter shift as I reflect on the world, yet certain elements remain — an emotive spirit, a sense of passing time, and memory.
I am concerned with composition, decomposition, colour and form, creating surfaces with rhythm and depth that draw the eye. My surfaces are worked, disrupted and re-formed — an experimental process where material plays an active role. A fusion of mind and material, informed by my background in textiles and a sustained interest in tactile surface and presence.”
