My work is cathartic, simply a reaction to life and my understanding of it. As a matter of circumstance, I was brought up learning some of life’s toughest lessons quickly and intimately. My artworks are a combination of my negotiations with life, morality, anxiety, depression, and a fascination with the emotive power of the human figure and its surrounding environment. My compositions contain crumbs of the everyday, of familial interactions, solitary walks in nature, of peace within circumstance, and utilise familiar motifs present within romantic painting and literature to create a dialogue with viewers that feels familiar and safe, but all the more unsettling and uncanny. My work seeks to show similarly, the beautiful and the tragic, while the precise and meditative nature of my practice allows me to tease out my own understanding of a given circumstance or form, before engaging with the viewer and having the dialogue anew.
