The Other Art Fair Collection

My process begins with immersion in the landscape, walking, observing, and sketching to absorb the textures, rhythms, and expansiveness of the natural world. I’m less interested in literal representation and more in capturing the feeling of wildness and freedom that the land holds.

In the studio, I work with layered brushstrokes, bold colour contrasts, and expressive marks that reflect the energy of open space. I often push against balance and harmony, deliberately allowing tension, irregularity, and rawness to remain on the canvas. These qualities echo the resistance and defiance that underpin my themes.

For me, painting is an act of embodiment. The physical gestures, the layering of paint, and the decisions to leave some marks raw or unfinished all become metaphors for living without restriction. Each work is both a landscape and a declaration, a space where untamed freedom is made visible.

This collection of artworks was put together to show my intentions and the thoughts and feelings behind my art.
