I am an artist, researcher, and art educator working primarily in drawing and painting. My practice explores abstract and abstract expressionist styles through non-traditional approaches, including colour fields, hard-edge and monochromatic blocking, and mixed-media collage with natural materials and found objects. I primarily paint on wood panels, using colour to create harmony, movement, and emotional depth. I combine these techniques to evoke reflection, inviting the viewer into the experience of the work.
My art explores memory, intuition, and identity, often shaped by my experiences navigating Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune condition I have lived with since 2011. Painting and drawing have helped me process this experience, and works like My Monster (2016) reflect its impact on my identity as an artist and individual.
