ARTIST STATEMENT

I enjoy being outside, more than anything else. With my paintings I pause moments of reflection in nature so that I can explore them further. I’m fascinated by colours shifting across moving water, the way shapes echo and saturation changes, contrasts of symmetry/asymmetry, opacity/transparency – all these combine to create visual experiences so strong that I need to dive deeper. Life moves so fast - painting allows me to slow down and contemplate.
