Finding Painting

At school, I would draw with black ink and pen. I don't remember ever painting then.

It wasn't until 2016 that I started considering different mediums.  

I was battling with addictions during my penultimate attempt to get sober. (Luckily, I finally succeeded).

Able to spend time considering life from other people's points of view. Healing.

Painting unlocked so much emotion and inspired creation.

In for a penny…

In 2021, when my son was 3, I took the crazy step of leaving 20 years in finance behind me. To try and reconnect. Find my soul.  Find myself in a hole?!

Art is getting to know the subject. It's emotion. Trauma. Healing. A snapshot in time.  

Ego detached.

Art to create a statement. To start conversations deeper than usual.

Art is better in person.

I love to know the stories behind art. If there is a piece you want to learn about, please message me.

Please sign up for my newsletter if you want to know when my upcoming exhibitions are. 

Thank you for taking the time to look at my paintings. I am very grateful for this privilege to be able to create.
