Painting challenges, overwhelms and inspires; coaxing me to connect and explore the conscious and subconscious worlds of fear, curiosities and stillness where words are difficult, translating my inner life to a visual one on canvas. I paint to reflect my passion for the power of observation and nurture my connection with nature and find peace as I focus on the simple still moments in our world. From still-life to skyscapes, I hope those viewing my paintings will find a reminder of the peace and balance still attainable in our busy modern lives. To me, painting – is a visual exploration of a moment in time where stillness can be found.
