My Practice is a visual diary of situations and scenarios, observations of life around me.                        

 I am fascinated by the interactions and emotions of a situation and an enviroment - the moment.          

 I aim to catch the energy of this moment within my paintings.                                                                          

The moment being : the space between, the realisation, the colour, the fragrance, the possibility.          

 I use a mix of mediums and substances, built up in thin layers, some pieces have ashes of previously burnt paintings and poems layered into them. Others have a simpler narrative.

 The Lime pieces have a smooth surface and rich depth reminiscent of ancient Venetian frescoes, the ghosts of longing.
