“My work is a reflection of my environment. I am interested in the intersection between
elements of the natural world and how it relates to human experience. In my work I
attempt to honour the visual beauty and fine details that exist within nature in order to
evoke a sense of connection between the viewer and the subject matter. My patterns and
colour palette reference vast landscape as well as microscopic details of stones, plants
and other organic matter.”
