Artist’s Statement
I have always been excited by colour, nature, people and places but it was not until I was able to travel that I discovered that I loved the drama and contrast in the world’s landscapes as well. These passions have inspired me to produce works that capture moments of quiet and transition that can be found in the natural world.
