About

My art is about capturing fleeting sensations... Sensations of joy, reflection, tranquility. Abstract figures filled with feminine mystery form the basis of images that delve into our emotional kinship with the natural world.

I am inspired by nature and mythology – coalescing into tranquil and sensual paintings infused with feminine forms that represent our connection with nature. Abstract human figures filled with feminine mystery, coexisting with leaves, seed pods, and organic patterns, form the basis of images that delve into our emotional and physical kinship with the natural world.

I explore a combination of techniques in my work to create dynamic contrasts between order and chaos – the free flow of watercolour paint collides with detailed and precise line-work created with pen and ink.
