Artist Statement
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.”
My paintings grow from a love of beautiful, time-worn objects and the spaces we curate around them. I am drawn to vintage vessels, heirloom fabrics, florals, and historic interiors—layers of texture, pattern, and memory that inspire both the composition and the materiality of my work. Beauty, for me, emerges from imperfection: the worn edges, the patina, the stories objects carry, and the subtle poetry of everyday life. Often, marks linger in the background of my paintings, as though history itself reveals itself in the shadows.
Working on muslin and linen, I build layered surfaces that echo the richness of velvets, brocades, and decorative fabrics while keeping the energy and immediacy of paint at the center. My work blends old and new, observation and imagination, creating paintings that feel curated, lived-in, and tactile.
I aim for my paintings to feel like home: inviting, intimate, and quietly transformative. Through colour, pattern, texture, and layered histories, I hope to offer viewers intimate spaces where nostalgia and contemporary sensibility coexist, and where the beauty of imperfection endures.
