ARTIST STATEMENT

In my work, I examine the dynamic relationship between humans and our environment. I intend to capture the inherent beauty of nature, showcasing its richness, diversity, and intricacies. However, intertwined with this celebration of beauty is a deeper message – a call to action to protect and safeguard the earth for future generations.

In many of my paintings the landscape takes centre stage, with humans depicted in diminutive scale to emphasize the vastness and magnificence of the natural realm. In doing so, I remind viewers how small we are in the grand scheme of life. In other portrayals, I bring humans to the forefront to underscore our presence and power, as well as the impact that we have on our surroundings.

It is through observation that my work offers the viewer an opportunity to see the world from a different perspective, evoking a sense of nostalgic longing to connect with and preserve nature.
