Many of my paintings start with an idea but quickly drift off. During the initial phases, two legs became evident. I related to them - they seemed like mine, muscular and from a period of my life I learnt a lot about myself while training as a competitive runner. I see the strength necessary to carry ones self through life with them so I kept them. In simplifying the composition, the tree came to be. Suddenly, through one definitive stroke, the head of an ostrich appeared.

About The Artwork

Many of my paintings start with an idea but quickly drift off. During the initial phases, two legs became evident. I related to them - they seemed like mine, muscular and from a period of my life I learnt a lot about myself while training as a competitive runner. I see the strength necessary to carry ones self through life with them so I kept them. In simplifying the composition, the tree came to be. Suddenly, through one definitive stroke, the head of an ostrich appeared.

I'm fascinated by the essence of painting itself—its process, how the paint moves on the canvas, and the vivid expressiveness of colors and textures that create a tangible and emotional bridge between my work and the viewer. The layers of paint invite you into a world of sensation and meaning that's yours to interpret. My approach often involves revisiting and reworking the canvas, much like the way relationships evolve and renew over time. My art reflects my journey—my introspections, connections with others, and, fundamentally, my relationship with painting itself. Human figures frequently emerge in my work, symbolizing the universal experiences of emotion, values, encounters, and the passage of time. These figures capture fleeting moments, bridging the present with the memory of a distant, earlier self. While I play with the balance between reality and imagination, I also embrace the unpredictable, using it to capture your attention and keep you engaged. A recurring theme in my work is visibility, particularly reflecting on my identity as a woman navigating a phase of life that often feels overlooked by society. It's this struggle for visibility, for recognition, that resonates through my art, connecting with viewers on a profoundly personal level.
