My work is something most of us can presently relate to, when I paint I am pulling from my innermost feelings of being on the precipice of a vast expanse, and the means I have to keep up with loved ones on the other side, something which has always been, for me, a natural phenomenon in today’s transient society, however, this currently applies to everyone with the present state of our world.

My emotional land and seascapes explore distance, connectivity and forgotten means of communication which I present in a fusion of paint and experimental textures with elements of collage work, sometimes I sew into my paintings.
I invite the viewer to dive in and stay a while.
