ARTIST STATEMENT

 I think I've been an artist since a young age, with creativity at the core of everything I do. When I connect with a place it becomes a part of me. Every location I visit, whether it's the remote regions of Central Australia, the coast, my birthplace in England, or my travels around the world, leaves an imprint through its natural beauty, light, and colour. These places not only forge connections with people, relationships, and history but also shape my life journey, which I express through my creativity. My art transcends the physical landscape, embodying the spiritual and emotional ties that these locations represent. In my studio, I embrace an intuitive and exploratory painting approach. The most fulfilling work emerges when I  allow myself to be guided by the materials and my instincts, rather than forcing the artwork to fit a specific vision. By remaining open to the unexpected direction a work can take,  I tap into a sense of flow and spontaneity in my creative process
