ABOUT
I paint striking large scale artworks with an emphasis on lighting effects. I blend nature with vibrant unnatural colour to create dreamy moods that liven up a space.
My personal work is an expression of the human psyche using a mix of familiar imagery from day to day life and more mystical, fantasy elements. I aim to depict and transmit the metaphysical nature of human experience.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is an exploration of the eclectic range of elements that comprise my view of life both philosophically and aesthetically.
My creativity has been influenced by many different narratives over the course of my ever-changing life. I love to leave no stone unturned when it comes to exploring art, culture, and experiencing what life has to offer.
This diversity of experience and interest fuels my artwork: animals, plants, natural environments, as well as the dynamics of city life. Woven through these subjects are my fascination with the mystical, philosophical, and the spiritual.
I’ve developed an obsession with the power of colour and am constantly studying the illusion of light and ways to paint it.
My practice is about creating a synergy between these elements to express abstract narratives that underpin my sense of reality. In my work I aim to bridge metaphysical concepts with day to day life.
