Artist Statement: My artwork acts as a language – a form of visual storytelling. A conversation between the artwork, myself and the observer. A collection of intimate experiences, documented and explored through mixed media on canvas, photography and digital abstract works, that give plenty of room for reflection and personal interpretation. Internal conflict, time, memory,
relationships, space and place are amongst the common themes present throughout my work. Creativity allows me to navigate the world and find my place in it. I create, because it burns when I don’t.
