Statement:
I consider my work abstracted ruminations on the cyclical changes in a garden. Informed by the natural world but relying on visual memory, the paintings tip at a point where the abstract touches the familiar. The making of a garden or a painting involves an intervention with material- pulling, pushing, manipulating and composing. My paintings are shaped through choices dictated by ground, colour, and mark-making – the entire process building upon itself. I work intuitively and meditatively. Holding in head and heart a feeling or sensation of inherent surroundings, day and season, the paintings become a reimagining of our relationship with the natural world.
