Artist Statement  
I make paintings, which oscillate between non-representational, imagined landscapes and figurative abstraction. Beginning with a coloured ground and contrasting lines of ink, imagery emerge, as emotional responses to personal experience, memory or place arise.  ​My current series of moon soaked paintings, lean toward nocturnal scenes, offering stillness, introspection and a deep emotive connection. ​Solitary figures are still or transparent, reflecting transience; the shifts experienced, when processing emotions on and off the canvas.  My intention is for the viewer to escape into and explore these otherworldly landscapes, with their linear structures and off-kilter habitats.​
