my practice has become an exploration of emotional expression through vibrant colour and symbolism. I achieve this by using spray paint which is often unpredictable, letting intuition guide where I add in small details, drips and work out the composition. As I have experimented, I found myself creating work inspired by watching my daughter discover the world with excitement and curiosity. I have aimed to bring my own inner child into the work, allowing excitement around exploring new mediums and letting intuition inform the next move.  

The bees in my "All Bees Lead Home" collection are often depicted going out and exploring, finding adventure and seeing the world through a fresh lens. 

I am continuing to explore with new techniques and new mediums to build more collections of work. 

My background as a therapist working primarily with child who had experienced trauma, I understand the importance of witnessing emotions without judgement, and I see painting as another way of offering that experience. Every painting is an invitation to pause, to reflect, and to recognise something of ourselves in the work.
