My paintings are an exploration and interpretation of the world I inhabit. Through landscape, figuration and manipulation, I paint locations and the emotions of the people that inhabit them. I believe that every place has a unique quality, and through paint you can bring to light the stories of the beings that inhabited them. My current series ‘Dreamstates’ takes locations from both my childhood and my current self and transforms them into locations devoid from life. However, this highlights that these locations carry a unique human experience and have a sense of human life even with the lack of human presence.
