I am an artist working with mixed media painting and ceramics to celebrate the wisdom of the natural world. Coming from a background of creating something from nothing, my materials are predominantly scavenged, reclaimed and foraged. Creating my paint from natural pigments like foraged rocks and soil brings me closer to the Earth. I see my practice as a direct collaboration with nature, which is an ever evolving relationship. 

Having always found the act of making a cathartic process, my paintings serve as mirrors for me to process and understand the world and my experiences. I aim to create a sense of playful inquiry through them, celebrating the bittersweetness and beauty of life. 

My paintings feature characters and symbols which help me transmute my experiences and embody the magical realism of everyday moments. I try to evolve each narrative to arrive at a sense of affirmation. I see my paintings as talismans which bring an energy with them. Art is communication. It has an intangible emotional quality. Each of my works aims to celebrate the strange and beautiful nuances of being human on this amazing planet. They invite people to reflect on their own experiences. I love seeing them go and live out in the world, as they take on new meanings for everyone who engages with them. Art is for everyone, and this sharing is incredibly important to me. This is reflected in the interactive elements of my exhibitions and curated shows.
