My painting practice explores the broad theme of human connection and togetherness through a personal lens. My focus is genuine supportive relationships and the goodwill that unites people. Combining experienced moments and sensations with the imaginary empowers me to reduce boundaries and draw people close, symbolically reframing society to be inclusive and hopeful.
It also helps me bridge vast distances and time to feel connected to my family and roots. My approach is intuitive and experimental, combining elements and processes with a collage aesthetic. Figures are abstracted to varying degrees, becoming a metaphor for the wider human condition. Preferring an open ambiguous narrative, I invite viewer interpretation.
