My paintings explore the quiet weight of history and the emotional resonance of the objects we choose to keep. I’m drawn to heirlooms, handmade artifacts, and architectural fragments—things that carry the marks of time and touch. Influenced by vintage interiors, aged textiles, wildflowers, and botanical forms, my work weaves together personal memory and a broader sense of place. Through layered surfaces, often vibrant palettes, and intimate scale, I consider how memory lingers in material objects and how our stories continue through physical things, reflecting on themes of inheritance, care, and the soft-spoken narratives embedded in the everyday.

I work with acrylic paint, acrylic mediums, ink, and pastel, building each painting in multiple layers to create botanical and still life paintings that celebrate what has been preserved and what continues to grow. My process is rooted in intuition and discovery—carving shapes from negative space, allowing forms to emerge gradually through accumulated marks and veils of colour. I often begin with a bright ground, letting it peek through or vibrate beneath softer, muted tones. The interplay between layers—what is revealed and what is concealed—mirrors the way memory and history surface over time. I am drawn to simple shapes, expressive line work, and joyful colour. My pieces often feature wild flower arrangements, vintage vessels, and textures reminiscent of old textiles, each element a tribute to time, history, and the quiet, enduring presence of the things we hold close.
