Painted on board. Showing patterns of the ocean under different lights.
A combination of different pottery techniques have been used to create this work – mold making, hand building, sgraffito, spraying, and intaglio – to give form to the ephemeral nature and beauty of the sunrise.
A glass artist is part scientist; part artist. I love the way that by using the physics of glass a piece so delicate can be created with so many beautiful interwoven colours.
Layered pieces of felted fibre partially conceal one another. Overlapping geometric sections of artwork, each carrying soft etherial cloud-like forms in silk fibre represent the ways in which we attempt to order our lives. Parts of ourselves that we are less inclined to share with others we strive to keep hidden.
An abstract painterly photograph that reimagines a tree as a symbol of love, connection and quiet strength – evoking emotion through texture and form.
This abstract oil painting is inspired by the vibrant colours and earthy textures of my garden. It captures the spirit of nature as seen and felt within my backyard sanctuary.
An uncomfortable bisection - 2025
My paintings tend to be loose representations of imagined underground forms and systems. Formed over millennia, subject to physical forces and actions, on a time scale that is hard for me to fathom. With this imagery, I reference an unseen world that sometimes seems difficult to grasp, but which I sense throughout the natural world.
Painted on corrugated cardboard. The snow peaked mountains surround the river with a lemon yellow sun providing light.
