This painting delves 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. Boundaries are reduced and abstracted permeable figures merge with each other and their distinct environment. My experimental and intuitive approach employs imagination, symbolic colour and connection processes like join, share, and equalize. The figures are at the river’s edge. Could they be on the edge of something deeper? Deliberately ambiguous, I aim for viewer interpretation.

Paintings focus on genuine, supportive relationships and the goodwill that holds people together. They combine real experienced moments and sensations with the imaginary, reframing life's journey to be hopeful and inclusive. Permeable abstracted figures merge with each other and their distinct environment, becoming a metaphor for the wider human condition.
