My work explores memory, time, and lived experience through line, colour, and structure.
Every piece begins with memory. Not nostalgia, but memory as something lived in. Collected. Revisited. Sometimes altered. I am drawn to what stays, what slips away, and the quiet spaces in between.
I work across digital and traditional media, exploring how stories are built, broken, and reassembled over time.
Line is central to my practice. It can be precise or intuitive. Meditative or restless. Sometimes it follows breath. Sometimes it resists it. Line becomes a way of recording presence and emotional residue. Colour enters when the story asks for it. At times, minimal and restrained. At times bold, fractured and unapologetic.
Much of my work sits between the personal and the universal. Everyday moments, familiar objects, and figures that feel known yet distant become starting points for reflections on belonging, absence, and resilience.
Whether created digitally or by hand, each work is approached with the same intent. The tool is secondary to the idea and the final physical presence of the piece. My work is meant to be lived with, not endlessly reproduced.
I leave space for the viewer to pause, enter, and bring their own experiences into the work.
