Biography
Interpreting landscape has always been at the heart of my creative practice.
The work is a portal to the interior world of memory and desire, time and place, longing and surrender — illuminating narrative and emotion. I paint intuitively, experimenting with mediums and glazes layering colour upon colour. This iterative process is exciting; I begin at one location and the work takes me to a new place — imagined and, at the same time, remembered.
I want my paintings to create an emotional response or connection and bring awareness to the beauty and fragility of the planet.
