ARTIST STATEMENT
My work explores the power of images to relive past experiences, evoke emotions and arouse sensations. A dramatic sky or lush woodland acts as a portal to memories. Colours and shapes generate feelings of connection that can’t always be expressed in words – it just feels right.
My creativity evolves through experimentation that blends realism with abstracted elements. I strive to connect with nature through landscape painting focusing on light, movement, and mood. Skies are essential in setting the tone. Idyllic images are snapshots in time that create balance and serenity, serving as a reminder to enjoy the beauty of nature.
