Diagnosed with cancer at five, I spent long periods in hospital, finding calm in observing patterns - tiles, curtains, window frames. In these moments, I looked for order within chaos, stability within flux.

Working with acrylic on natural linen, I return to these forms, allowing them to shift through memory and imagination. I begin with intuitive drawing, using the process as a way of thinking, allowing forms to develop through repetition, instinct and attention.

Memory is not something that is fixed, but something fluid. What we remember changes over time, shaped by feeling, imagination and the present moment. My paintings emerge from this space between what was seen and what is remembered.

I think of them as democratic paintings. They are open to different interpretations, allowing each viewer to bring their own memories, associations and ways of seeing to the work.
