Into the studio I go, to lose my mind and find my soul. I pop on my headphones, grab my brush and press play on the first song in my play list. Then I disappear into another world…

Art has always been my way of processing; it’s been my escape and my therapy. I have found painting to be very healing and sharing it, I’ve recognized brings joy and healing to others as well. Every time I paint, I grow and discover a new part of myself.

Most of my paintings colourfully celebrate nature in some way or express a particular emotion. Colour I find is a simple and yet powerful form of communication, it creates impact, depth and portrays a wide range of emotions. I’m inspired when listening to music, walks in nature, conversations with friends or quiet time when I can reflect. My materials and approach can vary slightly, depending on my desired intention. Going from planning every detail or just going with the flow, intuitively allowing the process to happen. I have always enjoyed using acrylic paint for its viscosity and flexibility. Recently I’ve been experimenting in resins, micas, and spray paint. I apply the paint to everything from large ridged cradled panels to smaller gesso boards and traditional canvases.

My artistic philosophy is to enjoy the healing process of creating and expressing life in full colour, while creating work that is also reflected on and enjoyed by others.
