‘My paintings are layered compositions drawing from lush flora set in wild terrains and otherworldly landscapes. The familiar motifs of floral and landscape painting act as a language through which to explore nature's capacity for growth, decay, and renewal - and how this mirrors our own human experience.
Aspects of my work are playful and suggestive, intending to allure with saturated colour and seductive floral elements. In contrast to this exuberance is a quiet tension between control and surrender, desire and dissolution… an acknowledgment of forces outside our influence and the persistent nature of transformation.’
