ARTIST STATEMENT

My abstract paintings are a considerate interpretation of the dynamic dance of energy and tranquillity found in nature. Inspired by moments of attentiveness in the natural world—whether a single flower species, the movement of a river's current over stones, or the formation of sand and rocks along a beach—my colour palettes and textural style mediate an interplay of light and movement that is both intuitive and celebratory. 

In this new series, Garden Variety, I have drawn inspiration from my floral design practice to produce a series that transports the viewer to the garden. Whether it is the dappled sunlight falling through shifting leaves, the textures of a vase of peonies, or the burst of colour as a few petals flare in the long light of sunset, each piece captures a moment in time that is suffused with the hidden energy of growing plants, and the stillness that comes by attending to the life of the garden.

It all started when…

Maecenas non leo laoreet, condimentum lorem nec, vulputate massa. Quisque congue porttitor ullamcorper. Donec ac fringilla turpis. Vivamus a ante congue, porta nunc nec, hendrerit turpis.
