I enjoy working with the tension between elements in my paintings. Sometimes they come together in harmony, and other times they feel out of place or don’t quite fit, which creates a sense of uncertainty and challenges the narrative. For me, it’s not about giving a clear interpretation—it's about leaving space for others to find their own stories in the work. My paintings often carry a lot of emotion, which comes from how I experience and respond to the world around me, whether that’s the layers of virtual spaces, inner thoughts and feelings, or the physical reality we all share.
When I work, I utilise a diverse range of mixed media— oil paint on canvas or paper, pastel, wax, stand oil and pigments, or on paper using charcoal, pastel, inks, acrylic and watercolour. I like to use different materials for the different results that I can attain. I am considerably prolific in my work and have hundreds of drawings and works on paper which often are made prior to a new series on canvas.
