I have always been pulled to the inner life; how we are fragmented and constantly in motion like the tides. Our awareness moving between our inner world and the world around us, reordering, responding, living in all directions.

My work leans into this, capturing multitudes of moments and markers in time, our through-line gently carving out an inner path with its signs and signals. In my paintings, words, lines and marks create a kind of visual stream-of-consciousness. They run like bedrock beneath the surface, laid out like inner nautical charts mapping our layers; gauging, measuring, telling of warnings and safe passage - an inner guidance system, intuition. The paintings are an interplay of memory, thought and nature, our fragmented lived moments running through us, becoming us, without the noise of digital interference numbing us and silencing our stories.

I come to painting with a need to express the importance of our inner life, intuition and being in nature for our sense of self and wellbeing. Using a combination of media like acrylic, spray paint, collage and oil paint, the paintings become layered and patch-worked, parts emerging and parts concealed, hoping to capture some of my through-line and some sense of the unknown we all hold. Within the process I look to build a kind of holding space in the work; a solid but ever-changing river the viewer can see themselves reflected in. The inner life made visible, like a bird flitting in and out of view.
