ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My paintings reflect a fantasy world where the reality of natural creations merge with dramatic and surrealist colour. My use of colour and thick paint to create texture combined with bursts of colour and intricate designs makes my artwork feel alive. I paint to bring more colour and joy to the world and reflect the way in which various forms of life are interconnected. I allow my intuition to guide me throughout the process, which is when I most often find myself creating fascinating new techniques. My aim is for my artwork to evoke a sense of grounding, hope and connection to the deeper world around us.
