This portfolio reflects my developing exploration of colour, texture and the histories held within a surface.
My abstract work is built intuitively through layers, allowing earlier marks, colours and imperfections to remain partially visible beneath what comes next. I am drawn to surfaces that feel weathered and lived in, and to the quieter tension between what is revealed and what remains hidden.
Alongside these works are paintings inspired by the natural world: a sunset, stones, trees and landscape. Even when the subject is recognizable, I am less interested in reproducing what I see than in exploring its colour, texture, atmosphere and emotional impression.
Although the works move between pure abstraction and references to nature, they share the same curiosity: what happens when we stop trying to describe something precisely and allow colour, surface and feeling to tell part of the story instead?
As an artist who began painting later in life, this portfolio is also a record of discovery. I am still experimenting, still refining my visual language, and increasingly interested in the space where abstraction, memory and the natural world meet.
