About the Artwork

I like to think of people as vessels of connection. Paintings focus on genuine, supportive relationships and the goodwill that holds people together. I combine real experienced moments and sensations with the imaginary, reframing life's journey to be hopeful and inclusive. Figures are abstracted to varying degrees, becoming a metaphor for the wider human condition. Boundaries are reduced, and permeable watery figures merge with each other and their ocean environment. We humans are 55-60% water.

I have a consistently experimental, intuitive and playful approach, combining significant elements with fine layers of mixed water-media on panel. I use connection processes like merge, share, and equalize. Symbolic relating colours parallel my theme. Horizontal marks suggest flux, bridging, growth, and expansion. Preferring an ambiguous narrative, I invite viewer completion.

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.
