Artist Statement

My obsession for colour and florals began whilst I was a young child, working along with my grandmother in the garden. I would help her plant out carefully considered flower beds that would explode in a myriad of colours and shapes every season, much to the delight and wonderment of passersby! This early involvement in nature sparked my love of colour, form, texture, and a fascination of how they interplay effortlessly. Taking those moments to reflect and immerse myself within our natural environment, always brings restorative calm and joy. My aim is to try and capture glimpses of beauty and interpret these moments in my paintings through the use of colour, contrast or lush textured paint - wether it be painting macro floral style, impasto or still life’s.
