My paintings are simultaneous explorations of what I see, where I’ve been and how I want to feel. Like me, they are multilayered, complex and full of surprises.
MessageCollection: Dreamscapes
The Dreamscapes collection drifts into the space between waking and sleeping, where colours blur, shapes dissolve, and nothing holds still for long. These paintings are ethereal and elusive—built from sweeping brushstrokes and layers of shifting hues that merge and melt into one another like half-remembered dreams. Each work is alive with movement, echoing the rhythm of breath, tide, or wind.
Painted standing, with the whole body engaged, these pieces carry the physicality of their making. Wide arcs of the arm, twists of the torso, and grounded steps leave their traces in the paint. The process is spontaneous and immersive, a dance between intention and surrender, control and release.
In Dreamscapes, colour takes the lead. Deep blues, sun-warmed oranges, and flashes of light weave together in unexpected harmony, inviting the eye to wander. The paintings don’t settle into one story but shift with every viewing—sometimes expansive, sometimes intimate, always suggestive of more than what’s seen.
These works speak to anyone drawn to mystery, to the fluidity of memory and imagination. They invite quiet reflection, sparking a sense of wonder that is at once grounding and otherworldly. Perfect for those who long to carry a piece of the dream world into waking life, Dreamscapes offers art that feels like a breath, a whisper, a fleeting glimpse of something just beyond reach.
