My practice challenges the viewer’s perspective on nature, drawing heavily on my background in both zoology and fashion design.

I am a technical painter pushing the boundaries of the media and often using my experience in fashion to explore the surface of the canvas. I predominantly use man-made materials to emulate organic surfaces. Not painting from life allows the media to direct the evolution of the work and the gradual layering of texture and colour results in imagined immersive environments that simultaneously capture macro and micro cosmos from a birds eye view.

Both a blurring of memories from past exploration and the opportunity to voyage to imagined lands, the works seek to bring the outside world closer and invite the viewer on their own adventure.
