My practice explores memory, transformation and the quiet relationships between people, place and the natural world.
Through layered abstract compositions, I create imagined landscapes shaped by observation, intuition and the rhythms of nature. Rather than depicting specific places, my paintings invite moments of stillness and reflection where memory, presence and imagination quietly converge.
Kodama is my current body of work.
Kodama borrows its title from the Japanese concept of a living presence within nature. Inspired by this idea, the series is an ongoing exploration of landscapes shaped as much by memory and imagination as by light, time and transformation.
Rather than representing specific places, these paintings evoke environments that exist between the remembered and the imagined. Each work unfolds through a process of layering, concealment and revelation, allowing forms to emerge gradually as traces of time, intuition and experience accumulate.
For me, Kodama is an invitation to slow down and experience landscape not simply as a place we inhabit, but as something that inhabits us in return.
My work explores the ecology of memory.
