I am interested in exploring the intersection of abstraction and representation, particularly in plant-inspired subjects set within imagined habitats. My paintings extend organic forms into abstracted environments and dreamlike landscapes, where I play with depth, line, and layering to create a sense of movement and spatial ambiguity.

As part of my process, I analyze and interpret organic materials, using them as a foundation for creative exploration. I work primarily in oil paint, drawing inspiration from organic imagery. Unlike acrylic, oil allows for extended manipulation, enabling me to build subtle transitions and nuanced gradations across the canvas.

In my recent series, Imagined Landscapes, I did not aim to replicate plants or real-world scenery. Instead, I created dreamscapes inspired by garden visits and the natural forms I observed. I do not reference photographs in the studio; I rely entirely on memory and imagination, painting what comes to mind rather than what I see.
