Paintings delve into human relationships, exploring what binds us together. I view people as vessels of connection, sharing personal moments and sensations that range from fractured to hopeful and inclusive. Figures are abstracted to varying degrees, becoming a metaphor for the wider human condition. Boundaries are reduced, and figures merge with each other and, at times, their distinct environment. ‘Quest’ considers how a family group can be its own entity and more than the sum of parts.

Experimental and intuitive, I combine elements via layers of mixed water-media. I use symbolic colour, value, horizontality and connection processes like merge, share and equalize. My approach aims to transcend time and space, connecting with both my roots and the viewer.
