My Practice

I believe in the importance of reminding ourselves that we are connected to it all. What we do to our surroundings comes back to us, and what attitude we have within, have external reactions.

Philosophy

Throughout my life, I have experienced my own significant process of dealing with balancing mental and physical health and the world around me. I have travelled extensively, taken myself out of my comfort zone and into the unknown. Understanding feelings and learnings of how to deal with anxiety, excitement and stillness of the uncertainty. I have found depth in connections; we are multi layered - multi faceted – a multi perspective entity in a fluid environment, amongst each other.

My abstract paintings take great inspiration from being in a meditative state within our natural environment. I use the stillness of my surroundings to create space whilst I reflect on emotions awakened by energetic relationships. Most of my subjects reflect a combination of evoked feelings from environments or situations. It uniquely allows me to combine my industry knowledge in design with my personal intuition. There is wonder in connections and balance, through aesthetics and thought provoking philosophies.

My painting style is a form of expression, an extension of my inner self, creating visual imagery through both colour and form. The linear brushstrokes and blending colours allows me to successfully emulate my emotions and different layers of feelings. I carefully consider how I can change moods, perspectives and take risks by either adding or subtracting whilst achieving light, soft transient layers and depth.

I have also found great inspiration in the work of others before me including Frida Kahlo, Claude Monet and Yayoi Kusama.
